Tips to Overcome Integration Challenges of Modern
Enterprises
Organizations need to have seamless application integration throughout the enterprise network to
ensure efficient and seamless data flow.
Enterprises today need to develop a robust tech stack to deliver enhanced customer experience and
develop new products and services to boost the top line. A robust enterprise tech stack needs
seamless integration between all the applications, systems, and other tools in IT infrastructure to
have streamlined workflows. CIOs should consider embracing a secure and scalable integration
approach to accelerate their digital transformation initiatives.
Seamless application integration is an essential part of an enterprise’s tech stack to accomplish
business goals and increase ROI. It is a very intricate and complex process to develop an IT
infrastructure that integrates seamlessly. Here are a few tips to overcome modern enterprise
integration challenges:
Integrations should be at the core while developing an enterprise tech stack.
Enterprises should consider all the integration options available when they are analyzing tools for
their tech stack. CIOs need to consider how the systems will interact with each other and accomplish
the task.
Before implementing the right tools in the IT infrastructure, businesses need to check if the tool has
inbuilt native integration options. Furthermore, it is crucial to understand if the application integration
needs a DevOps team to develop a custom integration code or a middleware to connect tools with
other software. Tech tools that have native integration between them streamline the process more
than those that don’t.

Businesses need to determine what type of automated testing and error logging is inbuilt with the
tool. Moreover, it is essential to understand if the integration lags; will the relevant team get a real-
time notification, and how the will be integration performance once the business scales. Enterprises
that keep integration as a foundation while building a tech stack can substantially reduce their
challenges.
Evaluate the gaps between current integration capabilities
Every enterprise will have different magnitudes of integration capabilities they need. A few
organizations might depend on a case-by-case, ad hoc approach, and others might have embraced
integration at the core of the tech stack. DevOps team might find it challenging to identify what are
the current integration capabilities and what should be the future approach. Evaluating the current
formal integration approach, tools, and resources responsible for integration can help to highlight the
gaps. Additionally, analyzing the existing hybrid integration platform and its capabilities in supporting
multiple disciplines, deployment models, endpoints and constituencies will help identify potential
gaps. If organizations find it difficult to find answers to the above evaluation, CIOs should consider
developing an efficient application integration strategy to overcome the gaps.
Evaluate the integration requirements of every tool in the tech stack
Decision-makers in every organization need to determine the application integration requirements
throughout the organization’s network. CIOs can deploy the best enterprise architect or integration
architect to understand the entire integration needs. A team of integration architects will align the
business goals with the integration strategy to make the most out of it.
Choose tools that seamlessly integrate.
Once the decision-makers understand the integration requirements and gaps in the existing IT
infrastructure, they can explore the technologies that will suffice the integration requirements and
bridge the gaps. CIOs should consider aspects such as minimizing the number of integration tools
and reducing redundancies and errors while evaluating the tools. Selecting and implementing one
tool might not be a solution for all the integration challenges.
