What is a System?
A System is a defined as: "a group of interacting or interrelated elements that act according to a set of rules to form a unified whole". The three basic elements of a system are: Input, Process, Output. The aim of a good system is to produce an efficient output. This involves a combination of business and automated processes working together as part of a single well designed, highly productive system.
What is Systems Integration?
System integration is the process of linking disparate computing systems and software applications functionally to act as a coordinated whole. The goal is a robust architecture that allows for a seamless exchange of information across systems. When executed correctly, system integration can lead to more streamlined operations, improved efficiency, more effective data analytics and ultimately a more successful business.
