IT integration, or systems integration, is the connection of data, applications, APIs, and devices across your IT organization to be more efficient, productive, and agile. Integration is key when discussing business transformation—fundamental changes in how you conduct business to adapt as the market shifts—as it makes everything in IT work together. Integration not only connects, but it also adds value through the new functionalities provided by connecting different systems’ functions. For instance, Apache Kafka is an open source platform that allows you to integrate streams of data with your applications, so they can act on data in real-time.

IT integration isn’t the same as continuous integration (CI), which is a developer practice where working copies of code are merged into a shared central repository multiple times a day. The goal of CI is to automate build and verifications so problems can be detected earlier—leading to faster development.
