Integration Issue

What is an Application Integration?

The process of merging several software applications and supporting systems to form a single system is known as software integration. Automation in a single system has now replaced the human process for carrying out a number of tasks. Integration enhances productivity, end product quality, and corporate operations and procedures. It encourages simpler interactions across IT systems, accelerating information flow and lowering operational expenses.

API Management

API stands for "Application Programming Interface", which is an interface that enables communication between different applications, devices or software components, abstracting (i.e., hiding) the implementation layer of the functionalities, so interacting with another application is made very simple as one does not need to understand the detailed inner workings to be able to do it.

Application Integration Challenges

Complexity

App integration involves automating existing business processes or enabling new ones. It goes beyond just linking one app to another. You must be fully aware of what happens to your data and the possible consequences each time your status is changed.

Inaccessible Data

Digital transformation is often a journey for firms rather than a one-time solution. Even the most technologically advanced businesses probably still keep certain data in a way that prevents people who could use it from accessing it. Two reasons account for this: Apps in the cloud are not sufficiently connected to one another. The next reason is that some data is still stored on old databases or apps.

Lack of information

Business software are occasionally connected, but not all users are aware of it or know how to utilize it. Or, some companies realize that they need to update their integration solution because their business processes have changed, new record fields have been added, or an API has changed.
