Deliver Trusted and Timely Information Across Your Enterprise

There is tremendous value in seamlessly connecting people, systems, and business processes across your organization. Operational efficiency goes up. Operational costs go down. Better aligned, your company can stay agile and competitive.

Integration Competency Centers (ICCs) are an important part of the solution. An ICC, or integration center of expertise (COE), is a shared service function consisting of:

• People
• Technology
• Policies
• Best practices
• Processes

All parts of an ICC focus on the rapid and cost-effective deployment of data integration projects, such as data warehousing, master data management, or data migration, that support your company’s business objectives.

ICC Benefits

• Optimize scarce resources by combining staff and tools into one group
• Gain tighter control over and better govern critical aspects of the business or technology infrastructure
• Improve the customer experience by integrating information and establishing consistent processes across channels and products
• Reduce project delivery times and costs of development and maintenance
• Improve return on investment by reusing low-level building blocks, application components, and codified business rules
• Streamline data integration and data quality efforts by promoting reuse within projects and across the organization
• Lower total technology cost of ownership by leveraging technology investments across multiple projects
• Build on past successes instead of reinventing the wheel with each project
