Advantages Of System Integration

Increase revenue and growth. One of the biggest benefits is reduction in inventory and personnel cost due to integrated systems. Improving the competitive environment with better information visibility. This will help employees and managers make decisions faster. Improve operational efficiency with better business processes that focusses on organizational goals. Is less time consuming for employees by using EDI systems to exchange data within divisions and suppliers. This will add value for it will be in real time, you will be able to see the inventory in all locations. The data information can be used to negotiate agreements and contracts with suppliers to reduce costs. Also organize the deliveries by location in order to maximize logistics associated with the orders.

Storage of data plays a major role in improving the performance of a company and this can happen either offline or online and in various formats.

It is not only responsible for storing data but also to provide security along with it. It also allows accessing data effectively; integrating data to enhance service intelligence, analysis based on the services required and most importantly increases the storage efficiency.

Reduce time to access the required data: DDBMS allows to store copies of a data in multiple branches.

After the requirements and the analysis of the current data library system will be completed. The existing system will be used for bringing improvements so that accurate data is stored with automatic regular backup and more security of the data. Testing of the data system will be performed to ensure that the data has been stored, retrieved in the server according to the specifications.

It is a set of technologies using which we can copy and then distribute data and the database objects from one database to another and then carry out synchronization between the databases to maintain the consistency of the data.

The advantage of integration different theories is that decreases repetition where two theories are relaying the same message with different opinions. Another advantage is that integration brings consistency to theories

A system is an organized structure that has inputs and outputs that carry out a specific activity. A system is a group of components that makes up a complex functioning unit. When an element changes, the system will stop functioning right. Once the system has been defined by jurisdiction, budget, coverage requirements and user needs, the next step is to design the system using components and systems that are obtainable and have the desired features that the customer and the design engineer have agreed upon. If the design engineer is not careful, then there will be coverage, operational, maintenance and reliability issues that will plague the system forever. The equipment-engineering phase will specify each and every component in the system, (Wiesenfeld, 2010). Due to a problem or situation, there is a beginning and an end to a system that is tasked to solve that problem.

In terms of advantages, in the component based integration (synchronous) the software can be reused due to which it is cost effective. Also, the ripple effects are reduced as soon as the alterations in the components take place.

There are various levels and types of integration, such as hospitals merging with hospitals and physicians aligning with physicians and hospitals and physicians affiliating. Additional services such as home health care, long-term care facilities, pharmacies, and more can be added to result in a continuum of care. A fully integrated delivery system is one that unites a financing group with all providers. The system is built on a foundation of primary care, and all facets of it operate under capitation, so everyone involved shares risk. The strategy of integrated delivery systems is to coordinate the seamless delivery of high-quality healthcare services over the continuum of care. There are the benefits of having information systems integrated

The ability of the systems to communicate between departments and support the manufacturing demands of the company is a huge advantage for the entire company. The new system would increase strategic processes for the different departments from planning to manufacturing to distribution to accounting by using the resources more efficiently. NIBCO would be able to identify discrepancies within their planning, purchasing, or manufacturing stages immediately. By decreasing redundant processes the firm is able eliminate waste in order to increase their profit. Another advantage for NIBCO was in establishing a timeframe in their strategic plan with a ‘go live’ date for the implementation of the IS system which meant that the company would be able to resume normal operations. A typical timeframe of installing a new IS system in a company typically occurs within a three to five year plan and NIBCO planned on having the software installed and operating within twenty-four months to limit the interruption for the

The system allows to company to modernize its strategies and processing more efficiently than its competitors

Databases allow us to easily store and retrieve data in a purely digital format. The strength of this is that large amounts of data can be stored and retrieved with minimal effort on the part of the user. Opposed to manually flipping through files, one can quickly pull up the requested data through a computer program. Many systems that were conventionally paper and file based have been converted to a digital format which are now stored in one or more databases.

System development can generally be thought of having two major components: systems analysis and systems design. In System Analysis more emphasis is given to understanding the details of an existing system or a proposed one and then deciding whether the proposed system is desirable or not and whether the existing system needs improvements. Thus, system analysis is the process of investigating a system, identifying problems, and using the information to recommend improvements to the system. System design is the process of planning a new business system or one to replace or complement an existing system.

The concept of the ‘Garbage in and Garbage out’ can be highlighted in this stage because wrong input produces wrong output. So they needed to store the genuine and verified data in some storage device which could be used as an initial input for the new system, adding some new data’s if needed, enacting the data from any destruction and then finally arranging the data for an easy and friendly access to its users.
