Integration is an inseparable part of every development project due to the growing amount of information stored in electronic form and as a result of the development of communication and data-storage technologies.

Profinit focuses on three types of integration approaches..

Data Integration

Integration at the data level is distinguished by high performance and reliability. One of the advantages of integration at the data level is the possibility that, in order to achieve integration, it is not necessary to tamper with applications. Other advantages are the ability to immediately propagate changes in data to other replication locations, robustness of the solution and low maintenance requirements. The advantages of this approach are evident particularly in situations when we need to operate one application over several logically or geographically separate databases at the same time.

ETL transformation

ETL transformation fulfils the need to transfer data and information between databases that are specialised for the given activity. For this type of activity, special tools and methodologies have been developed to guarantee effective management of extremely large quantities of data, complicated transformation rules for data and complicated rules for planning transfers. A typical example of ETL integration is the regular transfer of data from numerous transaction systems into a data warehouse and consolidation of such data.

Application integration

Automation of more complicated business processes requires a far greater number of applications and the use of far more complicated logic in order to manage the integration process. For application integration, several approaches have been developed that make it possible for applications to mutually communicate, transfer the necessary data and provide information on important events. The most promising approach seems to be the use of service-oriented architecture (SOA) and its implementation through web services. Correct design of services and creation of a simple controlled integration environment are critical for this approach.

How to get started with Profinit?

Profinit offers you analysis of your requirements for data and information integration resulting in an assessment of individual integration approaches. We take into account the customer’s requirements for speed of information transfer, technical possibilities of existing and developed applications, organisation of the customer’s operating environment and many other factors. The core of cooperation is then design and implementation of a solution that meets the users’ expectations and has low costs for initial development as well as for its further development and maintenance.
