Integration lets all the pieces of an IT environment work together. It is therefore a key part of any business transformation — its ability to adapt to a changing market.
Integration goes beyond just connecting things — it adds value. By linking the features of multiple systems, it can unlock new capabilities.
Not to be confused with continuous integration, a development practice where developers merge working code versions into a shared central repository several times a day.
The goal of continuous integration is to automate the creation and verification of new versions in order to catch errors early and accelerate development.
