System Integration

Productivity is about the time it takes to get a task completed. If the entry of information (data) must be undertaken twice, because of two
independant systems, then productivity would be low.

To operate effectively your systems should be able to share information. If they don't then what guarantee do you have that the information
on one system is as current as the other system? Furthermore, which system has the correct information?

Integration is not just about running a harmoneous office, with no conflicting hardware; it's about the sharing of data across the hardware,
so that useful information can be retreived.
