Why Business Executives Choose Integrator

Suppose a new supplier offers you a deal that provides products with improved customer service at a reduced cost but requires an application-to-application interface that your line-of-business (LOB) applications do not support. To take advantage of the deal and purchase from this supplier you will have to develop additional interfaces to your LOB applications that conform to the interface requirements prescribed by the supplier’s application.
