What does software integration mean? – Brunomag Concept Srl

If you like applications and work there is a software solution for anything, then you have surely asked your question: how do you integrate the information between all the programs used?

A common problem faced by several departments in a company are isolated data for the use of different tools; It is lost for a long time in the configuration of the systems.

Fortunately, there is a wide range of possible solutions when it comes to better integration of your company’s tools, applications and data. Therefore, we will approach the basic elements of how software integrations work and, above all, how they can simplify life.

First of all: what is the integration of the software?

The integration refers to the combination process of two software solutions to solve the problem of isolated data.

Before going to work, you will have to answer these questions:
1. What kind of software will you integrate?

Although large companies often create internal software, they are adopting more and more software as a service (Saas). This type of tool allows them to manage certain business processes without problems.

Smaller companies usually use direct Saas, preferring cloud -based applications, which can adapt to their business.

Regardless of the size of your company, if you work with internal software and you have to do the integration, a team of engineers may be necessary to help you with the architecture of the integration software.

Does it seem too complex or do you have no budget? Don’t worry, there are some pre-built integration software that you can consider.

Cloud -based company applications (those Saas solutions we have spoken) facilitate work. Most public their applications programming interface (API), which extends your integration possibilities.

2. Which integration software do you need?

If you use internal software, you will need an ad hoc solution. You can see if there is a company’s integration software that adapts to your needs, but you may need help from a team of engineers.

If you work with company applications that share their bees, you can use native additions or iPaa.

There are several IPAA options from which you can choose. You should think if you need unidirectional integration or two -way synchronization. For this last step, you can use Piesync.

3. What part of your data needs integration?

It may not be necessary to integrate each element of the databases: check their compatibility and not try to mix apples with pears.

With a certain preparation before, the integration between applications should not be a problem. To begin with, make sure you have collected the specific needs of your company and the options available. In the end, integration will not only bring the applications closer, but also the team.
