From spaghetti to infrastructure
In most companies, system integration has been carried out on a case-by-case basis which over the years has lead to a difficult manageable integration infrastructure or a “Spaghetti Infrastructure". Especially in sectors like banking and finance that have been using IT for many years, does the infrastructure create a problem.
The complexity or lack of visibility of the integration points makes it difficult and costly to implement new initiatives and changes into the business - and even impossible in some cases - as it is not possible to identify the impact a change in one system might have to other systems.
Companies realize this challenge and are struggling how to begin the journey from the Spaghetti infrastructure they have to something that is more well-defined and manageable to achieve cost efficiency and not least business agility - to be able to react to changes in the market with speed and achieve operational efficiency and control.
Gartner research shows there is a great opportunity for cutting out costs in IT by moving from traditional point-to-point integration to a structured framework and integration architecture.
