Information technology
In information technology, systems integration is the process of linking together different computing systems and software applications physically or functionally, to act as a coordinated whole.
Systems integrator
The system integrator brings together discrete systems utilizing a variety of techniques such as computer networking, enterprise application integration, business process management or manual programming.
Overview
A system is an aggregation of subsystems cooperating so that the system is able to deliver the overarching functionality. System integration involves integrating existing often disparate systems.
System integration (SI) is also about adding value to the system, capabilities that are possible because of interactions between subsystems.
