Integration, in technical terms, means that technologies, software and systems can automatically communicate and exchange data in a way that is compatible with each other, connected to each other and intelligible. Today, integration processes are carried out by various methods.
Technology has a great place in both our daily life and business life. In business processes, we observe that various processes that were carried out manually in the past are now carried out with minimum effort with various technologies. While businesses use various software, hardware and systems in their operational processes, it is unthinkable for them to work independently from each other.
This is where the importance of integration comes into play. An integration enables different software, hardware and systems to communicate with each other, enabling data transfers to be automatically performed between these entities. Thus, companies achieve full efficiency in their operational processes by using technology as a whole.
As we mentioned in the previous part of our article, while tens/hundreds/thousands of different IT assets are used in businesses today, there are integrations working in the back for each of them. Integrations are critical to the operational processes of companies. A problem that may occur in an integration can hugely damage other operational processes of the company.
Companies need to create an integration inventory to better manage their integration processes. All these processes are called "integration inventory management". Within the scope of integration inventory management, companies should collect all their integrations in an inventory and contain the necessary information about these integrations in this inventory. Integration inventory management supports IT asset management and corporate architecture processes of enterprises.
Integration monitoring is the process of monitoring the activity and working status of all integrations in a company's integration inventory. Companies need to monitor the working processes of integrations that take place between the ERP system, applications and hardware.
Companies can obtain data about the performance of their integrations by performing integration monitoring processes. In addition, companies can instantly detect an error or interruption in their integration, thanks to monitoring, and thus the problem is solved before the problems grow on the operational side.
Loggle offers a platform where companies can monitor and manage all their integrations. Integration inventory management software enables the creation of an inventory of all the integrations the company has. Loggle visualizes this inventory and creates an integration map of companies.
This integration map gives information about the criticality and importance of the integrations by showing which integrations companies have and which integrations are interconnected. Loggle also provides an integration monitoring service for companies that perform their integration via SAP PI and SAP PO.
