According to Whitehead, key integration approaches such as API-led connectivity, Event Driven Architecture, and Centralized vs Decentralized Integration Hubs are some examples that help bring business results quickly without overburdening resources and funds. In his recent article The Benefits of Implementing an Enterprise Integration Strategy, Whitehead says the key benefits of business application and data integrations include:

‍

• Increased efficiencies

• Improved data quality and accessibility

• Greater agility and flexibility

• Enhanced customer service

• Reduced costs

• Improved risk management

• Better scalability

Whitehead says that by connecting multiple services and systems together through APIs, organizations can leverage existing technologies to improve scalability in areas such as customer service, sales automation, analytics, and software development, among others. As a result, businesses can make better decisions faster, reduce costs associated with manual labor and overhead, increase customer satisfaction, and streamline processes for the quick implementation of innovative ideas.
