27
Q

Through an integrated infrastructure, the complexities of different
business processes and applications are gone, instead replaced by a
simple-to-use, unified environment.

A

Simplicity

28
Q

With the decision to manage all your data and applications from
one platform, costs will be greatly reduced.

A

Save Money

29
Q

One system means an enterprise doesn’t need to secure various
systems individually, each with varying levels of success and risk when
it comes to protecting your data.

A

Security

30
Q

An integrated architecture enables an enterprise to make better,
educated business decisions because it has access to its data in real
time.

A

Real-time visibility

31
Q

Employees can become more efficient and productive with an integrated
and modernized environment.

A

Efficiency

32
Q

Challenges with Software Integration

A
  1. Picking the right integration tool
  2. Integrating with monolithic systems
  3. Changes in the environment
33
Q

There are many tools for software integration. Choosing one among them
is a challenge. Today, a software integration tool that supports hybrid
integration is the most preferred.

A

Picking the right integration tool

34
Q

Many enterprises have monolithic architecture systems.
Therefore, it is not possible to do away with those systems
efficiently.

A

Integrating with monolithic systems

35
Q

Integrated software solutions are often not the same as before integration. Today,
nothing stays the same for a long period. Most integrated systems are designed
to solve a particular problem

A

Changes in the environment

36
Q

Broadcast production systems typically were built as a
collection of ________________.

A

“Silo” or “Island” devices

37
Q

What is so great about a System Integration Architecture?

A
  1. Flexibility
  2. Speed
  3. Standardization
  4. Data Integrity,reliability and
    robustness
  5. New products and Services
  6. Prevent lock-in byVendors
  7. Overview
  8. System Planning
  9. Training
38
Q

Fast changing work-processes and workflows need
flexible access to functions and data.

A

Flexibility

39
Q

where functions and data have to be used across
systems, middleware speeds development and
changes (in the long term, but not necessarily in
the short term).

A

Speed

40
Q

The costs of building and maintaining unique one-to-one
integration between systems is rapidly growing for larger
systems.

A

Cost

41
Q

As methods and interfaces are re-used, fewer
components and skills are needed. Having a way of
handling integration makes it easier to decide what
you don’t need to do.

A

Standardization

42
Q

As more and more data are used across systems and different work
processes, a system integration architecture and some middleware
solutions ensure the data integrity across systems and situations of
use.

A

Data integrity, reliability and robustness

43
Q

Easy and secure access to information across
systems opens up opportunities for new products,
especially on new delivery platforms

A

New Products and Services

44
Q

You can replace a sub-system from vendor A by an
equivalent system from vendor B, without having to
reconfigure the rest of the system.

A

Prevent lock-in byVendors

45
Q

As common ways of achieving integration are established, the
organization gets a better overview; both due to the standardization
and to the needed repository of information about systems,
functions, data, integrations, interfaces and metadata.

A

Overview

46
Q

Standardization allows technical planning departments to use tools which
will make the planning process much easier.

A

System Planning

47
Q

An understanding of the workflows in which the operators are involved
will become more necessary in the future than today.

A

Training

48
Q

The main task of system integration today is to turn
co-existing systems into co-operating systems, to collect
systems into ____________ when appropriate and efficient,
and to optimize workflows.

A

super-systems

49
Q

provides input & output for the system;

A

Presentation Layer

50
Q

the “brains” of the system

A

Application Logic Layer

51
Q

the memory or content of the system (databases and fileservers)

A

Data

52
Q

the physical
place where data are put

A

Storage

53
Q

is a “black
box” with known and
described interfaces which
can be used without knowing
anything about the internal
structure or internal
functionality of the box. ”

A

Component

54
Q

Is a type of computer
software that provides
services to software
applications beyond those
available from operating
system.

A

Middleware

55
Q

The same data is needed in different systems
and an automated exchange mechanism
provides copies of data in these systems and
ensures data-integrity while doing so. It can be
set up as rule-based or event-based.
Functionality is made available by an
integration broker

A

Message-based Integration

56
Q

Data exists as a single copy in a single location.
All systems work real-time on the same
instance of data. Integration is achieved by
agreement between the systems about the data
model they use, and about a common logic for
reading and updating data.

A

Data Carrying Integration

57
Q

Employed where users require a more
integrated user dialogue or interface than is
provided by the separate applications.

A

Portal Integration

58
Q

Refers to automating or semi-automating of workflows, by
integrating functionality and data.

A

Workflow

59
Q

Most common integration types

A
  1. Messaged-based Integration
  2. Data-carrying integration
  3. Portal integration
