Software integration is crucial for business functionality in today's digital era, facilitating seamless system interoperability. But integration projects often also reveal hidden costs, inefficiencies and challenges. When combined with less competent technical management, these challenges can intensify.

To minimise disruption and avoid trouble, CxO should deploy the right tools for their integration project and leverage strong vendor relationships to access cost-effective skills and experience.

Software + skills = excellent integration.

In the data era, the benefits of software integration are almost self-evident. Professional integration can incorporate legacy systems rather than sideline or remove them. It can deliver secure and lean information flows between systems and their users. Integration provides more comprehensive options than monolithic and overly centralised architectures.

Integration success requires a solid grasp of desired business outcomes, collaborative planning with stakeholders and platform owners, appreciation for the established systems environment and effective integration deployment, testing and enhancement.

Organisations should engage with skilled integration professionals and harness the best software integration tools. Leading integration providers bring experience and honed skillsets to the table, providing ways to tackle unforeseen problems or costs and avoiding past mistakes.
