Automation and Integration Services

SI means bringing together different IT systems, integrated automation and robotics, software applications, and more. Finally, all systems are connected and well-coordinated, making your business processes more efficient.

Integration development means creating complex interactions between applications, systems, programs, etc. An experienced SI software developer can think of the architecture for these integrations and implement them using various programming languages and frameworks.

Yes, it is. Lots of organizations throughout the world opt for automation\integration services, and many of them will in the future. It is supported by the fact that the world’s system integration market is predicted to be worth $530 billion by 2025, according to a recent research by Grand View.

In broad IT terms, system integrators are companies that plan, implement, coordinate, test, improve and maintain integrated systems. Is IBM a system integrator, for instance? IBM is among the established companies that provide automation and integration services. The largest system integrators’ examples include Accenture, Systemhouse, Deloitte, and Andersen Consulting to name a few.

System automation and integration services will support your company’s IT demands, from user-friendliness and better productivity, to reduced operating costs and bring more value to customers. In addition, system integration provides opportunities for data security, agility, and innovation.

Legacy system integration: integrating modern apps with some outdated existing systems.

Third-party system integration: using SI in software development to expand functionality via APIs and different technologies.

Enterprise application integration (EAI): connecting the company’s various IT systems into one.

Business-to-business integration: coordinating systems of two (or more) companies.

There are a number of ways to coordinate automation and systems integration engineering technology. After gathering your company’s requirements and demands, we analyze the existing systems and come up with a suitable integration method. In general, the 5 system integration methods include:

• Horizontal integration (connecting IT systems at the same level);
• Vertical integration (system integration at different levels and sublevels);
• Star integration(connecting simple systems to save time);
• Point-to-point integration (another term for star integration);
• Spaghetti integration (the same as star integration and point-to-point integration).

Fixed automation is used with the hardware and all kinds of equipment that has certain limited configurations. Programmable automation and integration depends on computer programs and a SI developer’s coding skills. Flexible automation is a subset of programmable automation that is performed in less time.

Platform integration services can be successfully performed with the automation processes by using artificial intelligence and other tools. As a result, you are connecting disparate systems and apps in the most efficient way.

Yes, we can. Our SI developers successfully integrate CRM solutions to automate client management pipelines, CMS platforms to manage content marketing, ERP systems to coordinate all the company’s information exchange, HRM systems to handle internal HR processes, and other solutions that are part of automation and integration services.

Yes, we do. At Fively, you can hire a SI developer with particular experience in Shopify customization and integration. We use SI in software development to integrate reliable eCommerce solutions and bring more value to your online business.

OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) provide special technical equipment and know their own processes very well. It is a good choice if you have already settled on a particular brand of automation and integration technology. In other cases, it is worth talking to a system integration company that has extensive experience with a variety of solutions, processes, and equipment.

There are some critical factors worth paying attention to: relevant expertise, sufficient services, and the company’s stability. Check out the portfolio of previous projects related to system integration and automation. Read the clients’ reviews, paying attention to what business areas they come from. Ask the SI developers what tools and methodologies they use and why. And finally, make sure that the IT company can provide all the automation and integration services you require, from assessment to implementation.

SI development and digital transformation are beneficial for any organization: manufacturing, banking, retail, healthcare, transportation, education, governments, etc. SI software development has lots of advantages for medium-sized businesses and big established companies, because it streamlines communications, makes data-sharing procedures easier, provides real-time analytics, and helps improve customer service at all levels.

There are different factors that can influence the final cost of your systems integration project. Firstly, think about the complexity of your problem. It will define what kind of work you require: for example, enterprise application integration (EAI) or legacy system integration. Plan your expenses on integration services and consulting services. At Fively, we provide free consultations on automation and integration for organizations, including rough estimations based on the number of connections, data formats, system integration methods, etc.

Here at Fively, we use a multi-step, business-oriented approach that begins with the assessment of demands, methods, and technologies. Using our expertise in automation and systems integration engineering technology, we will provide the right software solutions, digital transformation strategies, integrated systems configuration, acceptance testing,technical support, etc.
