Increase Your Business and IT Agility with Lean Integration

In the best manufacturing environments, no effort or resource is wasted. People, processes, and materials are synchronized to generate maximum value. Productivity and precision are paramount.

With Lean Integration, you can achieve the same exacting, factory-like efficiency in data quality and integration.

Based on the Lean management system used in manufacturing, Lean Integration transforms organizational processes and relies on leading-edge technology for automation and reuse to systematically reduce costs and accelerate delivery. Lean Integration focuses on three key goals:

• Eliminating waste
• Increasing value for end-user customers
• Driving continuous improvement

Integration Done Faster, Better, and at Lower Cost

Lean Integration represents a next phase of data integration maturity. It builds on the Integration Competency Center model with a factory-like approach engineered to optimize performance on the critical dimensions of cost, speed, and quality. Lean Integration has been shown to generate:

• Up to 90 percent reduction in project lead time
• A 50 percent gain in integration team productivity
• Significant and continuous improvements in project quality

With Lean Integration, your organization can continue its evolution toward the ideal of becoming an agile, data-driven enterprise.

• Agility for the business. Lean methods promote innovation and agility by liberating staff from tedious and repetitive tasks.
• Decreased risk for senior IT executives. Lean management strengthens IT governance and control by lessening complexity and promoting visibility.
• Lower cost for IT developers and managers. Lean Integration reduces cost and inefficiency by standardizing automation and reuse of integration processes.
