Application Integration

Most organizations have multiple enterprise applications that they use for human resources, accounting, sales and marketing analysis, inventory, etc. Typically these applications (business processes) are not designed to integrate together to provide users with a total awareness and access to information to informed and appropriate business decisions.

To address this substantial issue facing organizations today, Microsoft have created a capability to genuinely deliver enterprise wide application integration. This capability is known as BizTalk Integration.

In addition to this, Microsoft has also provided the capability via its Portal offering to overcome issues such as employee empowerment, business performance management, sales force automation as well as accelerate previous investments in other applications and infrastructure.

	EMPLOYEE ENABLEMENT Provide employees access to tools and data so they can retrieve relevant information at the right time to conduct business An example of where this capability could be used is human resources/payroll Provide current information about employee benefits, policies, and payroll in a place where employees can find it easily.
	EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW Getting an up-to-date view of business information as a decision system system Ability to quickly and in time to business and market conditions
	SALES FORCE AUTOMATION AND EFFICIENCY Combining access to live sales data Identify and manage sales efficiency and increased responsive to custome and market conditions
	MAINTAIN VALUE OF EXISTING INVESTMENTS Accelerate and leverage existing and previous application and infrastructure investments The power to combine Microsoft’s Integration and Portal capabilities is that together they provide a very rich experience for the user to ensure that they’re able to respond quickly and effectively by being empowered to make better informed business decisions.
