It’s important to continue enforcing integration and interconnection of the across organizational, industrial, local and global business to achieve organizational purposes and improve business maturity.
The purpose of integration is to improve business agility, enhance capability coherence, encourage collaboration and harness unification.
Integration becomes the key step in building solid and differentiated business competency: Enterprise is a complex system with a mix of order and chaos, quality data and outdated knowledge, idea flow and process stability; innovation and standardization. Integration is a critical step in optimizing business processes and building differentiated organizational competency. Technically, integration is the task of identifying dependencies or interdependencies between varying components, connecting business systems or subsystems so that they can share and consume each other's resources, eliminate redundancy, enable workflows between them as part of a business process value chain, collaborate cross-boundary and build build business competency.
Integration has to be done with a “big picture”: If analysis is about breaking down, then integration is about binding things up. It’s important to have the business/enterprise architecture in mind that supports the strategic goals of the organization such as revenue growth, margin improvement or customer satisfaction, etc. The successful integration will depend on the underlying business relationships between all of the crucial points and how they influence or are interdependent with each other, so they can manage the variety of complexity and ensure the business as a whole is superior to the sum of pieces. Without clarified architectural perspective and designing/engineering fluency, they might spend significant time and resources on doing integration without achieving expected results, even generating integration hairballs which make the business fragile and cost significantly to deal with later.
The goal of a variety of integration is to ensure business information consistency, process agility, structural flexibility, ROI, security, and interoperability: Nowadays, there is abundant information permeated everywhere and silo spreading in the different layers of the organization. Integration is the key to ensure that information can flow frictionlessly to break decision bottlenecks; improve organizational interoperation, reliability, and security. Through quality integrations, business capabilities and assets inside the enterprise are easily combined with assets and capabilities outside the enterprise to build core competency. And a highly integral business ecosystem offers real value and also is necessary for improving business effectiveness, agility, and maturity.
It’s important to continue enforcing integration and interconnection of the across organizational, industrial, local and global business to achieve organizational purposes and improve business maturity. Those organizations that have better integration maturity outperform their competitors and tend to be more responsive to increasing pace of changes and develop long-term business competency.
