System Integrators for Enterprise

Systems integrators are businesses or lone professionals who combine software, hardware, networking, and storage solutions from a range of sources in order to complete computer systems for clients. As such, systems integrators can help businesses combine the benefits of off-the-shelf and bespoke solutions as necessary, ensuring they meet business goals in a way that’s more efficient and cost-effective. They also bring together component subsystems of the company’s IT scope together, helping those systems function, communicate, and automate their cooperative functions.

As enterprise businesses grow, it’s easy to find that the bloat of using solely customized systems that require original programming or manufacture becomes too expensive and unwieldy. Systems integrators do the legwork of finding the systems necessary to cover the business’s entire scope, creating a network setup that’s bespoke, but made of off-the-shelf solutions designed to meet the IT needs of the enterprise.

The Benefits of a System Integrator

Systems integrators lend a wide range of benefits, only enjoyed through a strong centralized system where all the subsystems work seamlessly with. These include the following:
‍

Much more efficient data management, with data being transported from disparate subsystems to a centralized location, making it much easier to use for analysis purposes, easier to obtain complete results from, and easier to secure.

Increased process efficiency, automating many of the subsystem interactions that would otherwise necessitate more work (such as manual data entry) from your employees, helping them not only be more productive but also improving their job satisfaction.

Improved sales, since data connectivity between departments, which means that it's easier to offer better customer service, from lead building to sales to support. For online stores and services, an integrated system also means that customers will be able to access all of their data more easily.

More accurate information available through real-time integration. It’s not uncommon for enterprises with large IT scopes to be making poorly informed decisions based on the data that’s immediately available, even when more relevant data is on a different part of the system. Constant data connectivity allows you to automate data collection and updating, meaning your team doesn’t have to spend all their time on data analysis and that you always have the latest data available.

System Integration Strategy

There is a range of strategies that a systems integrator can implement. They can include uniting your APIs, creating a means for transmitting data across different applications, automating any necessary reformatting, and so on. However, an effective integration strategy is best done with a full analysis of the software and systems that your enterprise organization relies on.

Data integration is another key strategy. Systems integrators can help you find ways to combine different data structures, creating centralized data storage facilities that can manage datasets regardless of format or size. Integration may also include updating existing systems to generate data to a specific, standardized format.

In order to do this, the system integrator will work your IT and development teams, lending their understanding of the needs of their departments and the capabilities of the systems currently in place.

An enterprise system integration can be a monumental task, one that needs to be directed by a clear view of what you want to achieve through it. Fundamentally, the integration strategy depends on your business growth strategies, too.

System Digitalize Initiative

Enterprise business primarily share the same goal: fueling business growth through improved customer experiences. How this happens differs from organization to organization, but there’s no denying that a rapidly changing IT landscape and rapidly changing IT demands mean that enterprises must be agile. They need to connect their external components, systems, and touchpoints to customers with the applications, data, and internal components that fuel their own success.

Systems integrators can help enterprise organizations completely revamp their internal processes, but they can also help companies create new digital experiences and products that benefit from that technological scope through APIs. These benefits exist not just for customers and clients, but for vendors, suppliers, partners, and developers. Here are a few ways they do that:

• They eliminate barriers between the subsystems they may be used, getting rid of multiple logins and allowing flexible use of different apps and components, with data being transmitted freely from one to the other. Open APIs can be integrated by end users to their own applications, erasing the roadblocks that keep them from being efficient and flexible.
• As mentioned, the centralization of data is one of the greatest benefits of system integration. In a time where big data is becoming one of the key driving factors behind the decision-making process of the most successful businesses, improving data analysis with a broader pool of more complete is always an improvement. By connecting customer-facing components with internal systems, usage logging can feed you new insights, teaching you how end users are using them and helping you improve their UX, add new functions, and make fixes that make them all the more effective at converting them to long-term loyalists.
• Connecting internal components to external ones also streamlines processes a great deal for internal end users. The ability to connect to customers all the faster from internal systems, with complete access to their usage data means that your team can be much more responsive when it comes to providing support, pushing for further scales, and answering queries. Rather than there being a roadblock between the customer and the help they need, there’s an open gateway. With that comes the satisfaction and success that keeps them hooked in the long-term.
