Integrating applications involves connecting data or functions between different applications using APIs to add new functionality. An API allows software applications to communicate with each other and share data. Examples provided include allowing staff mobile access to internal software data, sharing manufacturing lead times with sales teams, enabling mobile sales contract signatures, and building apps to integrate with internal and external systems like websites, databases, and other apps. The document discusses how integration can increase productivity, sales, user experience, and profits.
