Whether connecting an Association Management System (AMS) with an internal database or an e-commerce platform with a 3rd party service, integration is a major part of software projects. Centralizing data and automating decision making, done well, can pay back dividends, in addition to the improved customer and employee satisfaction when everything just fits together automatically. A professional team with a diversity of skills can save integration projects from getting off on the wrong foot, focusing on delivering tangible value and working results.
