Conducting e-commerce activities is not possible without appropriate IT systems. IT solutions are used to support many processes, e.g. in the sales industry. From ordering an assortment, through handling product information, the ordering process to shipping and noting stock status. Therefore, IT systems determine the way the entire company functions. However, there is often a need to integrate IT systems so that they can work together rather than as programs that are completely independent of each other.

This situation occurs especially in companies in which separate systems are used to support the purchasing process, customers, resource management and accounting services. Each of them has separate functions and different properties, so it is difficult to include them in one software. Fortunately, there is a process of integration of many IT systems that resolves the problem. Due to this operation, completely different systems can communicate and cooperate effectively. Although they differ in their purpose, they often use the same data and, above all, the same devices. So there are no obstacles to connect them together. How to do this type of IT system integration? See what to look for.
