foundations

What is system integration?

Integration is an activity that combines several elements and interfaces to form a system that enables interoperation between the system elements to satisfy system requirements, architecture characteristics, and design properties.

In IT, system integration is the process of connecting software and hardware into one infrastructure to make intra-company operations more efficient and fast.

What is the purpose of system integration?

Here are the 4 reasons why you might want to integrate systems:

  • Enhance productivity and operational efficiency
    Improve workflows, reduce manual work, and automate tasks, all of which contribute to a more efficient and productive business environment.
  • Improve data accuracy and consistency
    Ensure that your data is consistent and accurate across all platforms and provide a single, reliable source of truth that all departments can trust for decision-making and reporting.
  • Reduce costs
    Lower IT and software expenses and optimize resource allocation, resulting in overall cost savings.
  • Better decision making
    Get access to real-time data for more accurate analysis, a better understanding of the company’s operations, and more informed and timely decisions.

Common challenges with system integration

According to the MuleSoft 2025 report, 95% of IT leaders report integration as a hurdle to implementing AI effectively. Here are the main challenges they face:

Differences_in_internal_logic_and_data_structures_of_various_tools

Differences in internal logic and data structures of various tools

System integration can be hampered by differences in system architecture, data formats, and protocols.

  • Hard to integrate legacy systems with modern ones due to differences in programming languages and data structures.
  • There is no ready-to-go solution for integration testing.
Lack_of_time,_budget,_and_technical_expertise

Lack of time, budget, and technical expertise

Integration often requires significant upfront investment in software, hardware, and human resources.

  • Integrations influence organizational structures, communications, and business as a whole.
  • There is a constant need for up-to-date technical knowledge.

stages of integration

What is the process of system integration?

Typically, to integrate different systems, you go through 4 stages. 
Here, we describe what’s included in each stage:

Icon - Strategy

Gather requirements

Identify business goals and gather functional and technical requirements from stakeholders to understand the integration's objectives and needs.

CodeBlock

System architecture

Design a path for how different systems will interact, decide on integration methods (e.g., APIs, middleware), and ensure scalability and performance.

Icon - Layout.svg

Custom components

Develop custom components (APIs, connectors), map data between systems, and build any necessary user interfaces to support the integration.

Icon - RocketLaunch

Testing & deployment

Test the integration with unit tests, integration tests, performance tests, and user acceptance tests (UAT) to ensure everything works as expected.

Ondeva integration services: How we make a difference

With ondeva

  • One system to serve everything
    Ondeva offers a centralized platform that integrates all your IT systems, services, and software. 
  • Scalable and flexible
    Add new functionalities or expand your operations easily, with minimal disruption to existing processes.
  • Central information center
    Simplify access to information and services, enhancing decision-making, customer service, and user satisfaction.
  • Streamlined processes and reduced costs
    Free up resources that can be invested in innovation and growth, giving your business a competitive edge.

Without ondeva

  • Increased complexity and costs
    Managing multiple systems and integration points adds complexity to your IT infrastructure.
  • Limited scalability
    As your business grows, an uncentralized system becomes difficult to scale. 
  • Data silos and inefficiency
    Data remains isolated within different departments or software applications, which hinders decision-making.
  • Poor user experience
    Customers and users have to navigate through multiple systems to complete tasks which is time-consuming.

Different ways to integrate systems

System integration is complex and can be done in different architectural ways, depending on the number of tools connected and the requirements of the legacy system.

Point-to-point_integration_(P2P)

path 1

Point-to-point integration (P2P)

This is one of the simplest forms of integration, where each system or application is directly connected to every other system it needs to communicate with. While this approach is straightforward to implement initially, it can become complex and difficult to manage as the number of connections grows, leading to a tangled, spaghetti-like architecture.

Hub-and-spoke

path 2

Hub-and-spoke

In the hub-and-spoke model, a central hub facilitates communication between different systems (the spokes). The hub translates and routes messages to the appropriate systems, making it easier to add, remove, or modify systems without affecting the entire network.

Enterprise_Service_Bus_(ESB)

path 3

Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)

The ESB approach extends the hub-and-spoke model by providing a more dynamic and flexible integration framework. An ESB offers a set of rules and principles for integrating applications using middleware. It supports complex integration scenarios, including asynchronous messaging, message transformation, and process orchestration, making it suitable for large, enterprise-level integrations.

API_Integration

path 4

API Integration

API integration involves connecting different applications and systems using their APIs to allow them to share data and functionality. This approach is highly versatile and can support a wide range of integration scenarios, from simple data sharing to complex business process integrations. APIs can be used for both internal integrations and integrating with external services and platforms.

Ondeva and system integration software FAQs

Find answers to the most common questions about ondeva and system integration software.

System integration is the process of linking various IT systems, services, and/or software to ensure they function as a whole. This process can involve integrating existing, new, and internal and external systems.

An integration system refers to a set of tools, methodologies, and middleware designed to enable the connection and communication between disparate IT systems, services, and software. Its primary purpose is to allow these different components to work together.

System integration testing (SIT) evaluates the cohesiveness and functionality of a combined system. It is a critical step in the system integration process that verifies that the integrated system meets specified requirements and performs optimally.
