Overview:

Process Integration –the act of integrating a set of process steps to create a process flow.

Process Integration is the implementation of internal and external business processes in a way that fully utilizes IT systems to add efficiency and flexibility within an enterprise. Process Integration includes functions required for traditional business process management solutions. Typically, Process Integration solutions begin with a focus on processes internal to the enterprise and evolve to include processes that fully integrate external partners. This external integration requires functions that support business-to-business interaction management. PI focuses on what data is Needed and how that data is used.

Benefits of Process Integration:

Efficient Process Integration allows new business applications to be created and lets companies differentiate themselves by making customer transactions smoother than the competition.

Process Integration solutions can integrate the resources supporting your business processes, automate the transactions between them and monitor those processes while executing them, making what goes on inside your company visible, measurable and auditable.

Effective Process Integration solutions return control of business processes back to business people from information technology (IT) people. This means that line-of-business managers can change business processes and quickly adapt them to changing economic conditions. Process Integration also provides decision makers with up-to-date business information, allowing them to make better business decisions immediately.
