System Integration (SI) Service Introduction
System integration (SI) is the process of connecting a series of separate systems with different functionalities into a large system, ensuring tight interconnection between these systems during operation to enhance work efficiency and system utilization effectiveness.
Benefits of IT system integration
- Enhanced management capability: By integrating systems from different subsystems, system integration allows for information sharing and data reuse. This facilitates easier analysis and yields more comprehensive results, thereby increasing system efficiency.
- Increased productivity: Everyone is seeking higher productivity and efficiency. A well-architected system integration strategy rationalizes or even fully automates various processes within your business. This frees up your employees to perform higher-level tasks more effectively!…
- Cost saving: Cost saving is one of the most attractive benefits of system integration. A custom-built integrated system strategy will reduce overall costs and other expenses by consolidating systems into a single platform. Additionally, there is the potential for cost savings through increased productivity and better decision-making due to access to more accurate data.
- Improving data accuracy: Having duplicate data in multiple disconnected systems can lead to reduced data accuracy. Data is often used to make strategic decisions, so it needs to be accurate and consistent. If you are compiling a report from non-integrated software, there is a risk of conducting incorrect or outdated information analysis. Integrating these systems will minimize the risk of human errors.
- Flexible scalability: Due to the increasing demand for usage and user data over time, system expansion is necessary. With integrated systems, upgrading individual components is highly flexible. Depending on specific needs, businesses can expand corresponding components to meet requirements instead of upgrading the entire existing system.
- Security: Typically, on each separate system, authentication methods and data security are used, which makes system management difficult and enhance the security capabilities of these systems.
Steps to implement the service:
- Define objectives: The business needs to determine its objectives before implementing IT. This involves changing the mindset within the organization, from leadership to staff. Being prepared in terms of leadership and organization. Having a specific plan to build a step-by-step roadmap for IT application that aligns with the business’s development trajectory.
- Survey and consultation: The business needs to conduct surveys and seek consultation to identify suitable solutions for implementing the IT system.
- Solution Design: Develop a step-by-step roadmap for implementing IT applications that align with the company’s development roadmap.
- Deployment: Implement the IT solution for the business.
- Acceptance Testing: Before the system is fully operational, it needs to undergo acceptance testing according to the standard requirements. This is a fundamental condition for the company to be able to operate independently in the future.
- Training and transfer: Training must be conducted in detail and fully transferred between the supplier and the business (pay attention to the details of the handover documentation).
- System maintenance: Regular system maintenance. Schedule regular performance diagnostics to ensure that all components are functioning properly and minimize errors.
