System Integration

System integration at NFCD involves combining different subsystems or components into one large system, ensuring that each integrated subsystem functions together as a unit. This process is crucial in fields like information technology, where different systems like hardware, software, and IT services need to work together efficiently.

• Legacy system integration: This is the integration of modern applications into existing outdated systems that are critical for your core business functions. For example, you can connect a legacy CRM system to a data warehouse or a transportation management system2
• Enterprise application integration (EAI): This is the unification of different subsystems inside one business environment, such as front- and back-office processes. EAI enables real-time data exchange and automation between different applications3
• Vertical integration: This is the integration of subsystems according to their functionality by creating functional entities, also known as silos. This method is quick and cheap in the short term, but it limits the scalability and reusability of the system4
