Application and data integration

application integration vs. data integration.

With application integration, Referit links different systems together. That way all relevant information is always and everywhere up-to-date. With application integration Referit makes your complex IT environment easy and flexible. We are experts in the field of BizTalk, but nowadays increasingly choose cloud solutions from Azure. Curious why? Watch our article and webinar on why you should migrate from BizTalk to Azure Integration Services.

With data integration, we consolidate data from various sources to enable, for example, central reporting or central monitoring and Master Data Management. We use Azure Integration services for this purpose.

always relevant azure services.

Azure offers a wide range of services specifically focused on both application and data integration. At Referit, we use the Azure services listed below to develop solutions for our customers.

application integration:
‍

• Azure Logic Apps: low code;
• Azure Function Apps: code;
• API Management;
• Azure Service Bus.

Azure Logic Apps and Azure Function Apps enable our developers to automate complex integrations and workflows using a visual design, without the need for a lot of code. Azure API Management helps organize and manage APIs. Azure Service Bus provides reliable messaging between applications and services even under high load and unreliable network conditions.

data integration:
‍

• Azure Data Factory;
• Azure Synapse Analytics.

In terms of data integration, Azure has powerful services such as Azure Data Factory and Azure Synapse Analytics. Azure Data Factory is a cloud-based ETL and data integration service that allows businesses, to collect, transform and load big data from various sources. Azure Synapse Analytics, on the other hand, is an integrated analytics service that combines big data and data warehousing.

always the best application.

For years, companies chose monolithic applications. These are stable and secure, but also very inflexible. More and more companies therefore choose the best application for a task, such as CRM, HR or planning, which is called the best-of-breed strategy. In addition, Referit also realizes a customized solution through application development. Best-of-breed choices work optimally, but also raise integration issues. We ensure that applications in the cloud or in data centers continue to communicate well with each other, for example through Azure application services and Azure Integration Services.  

always real-time supply chain integration.

Companies never stand alone. They are part of a chain with suppliers, customers and logistics partners. And those parties all communicate intensively with each other. This requires far-reaching digitalization and integration of information exchange. We realize solutions with EDI connections and Azure Integration services.

This is how we ensure that logistics processes, up to invoicing and all, run smoothly and data is delivered in real time.
