Integrated Business: The whole is greater than the sum of the parts

Infosys Integrated-Business is an Integration Competency Center (ICC) establishment solution to help organizations maximize business value from their integration investments.

We manage all the integration needs within your organization by streamlining and standardizing application integration activities across your organization.

We help you achieve an ‘enterprise view‘ of Enterprise Architecture Integration (EAI) with improved time-to-market and lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Value Proposition
An enterprise-wide, structured, and well-managed framework for owning and adopting EAI enables:
  • Business Alignment: Business objective-driven integration environment with increased visibility along with informed and faster decision-making
  • Strategic Technology Ownership: This is made possible thanks to the EAI governance model, metrics and functional structure, and a comprehensive funding and costing model
  • Lower TCO: Brought about by economies of scale, productivity gains and higher resource utilization from repeatable infrastructure (Giga: Average savings of 25%-30% in development costs and 30%-75% savings in operations and maintenance cost can be expected)
  • Higher Solution Quality: As a result of efficient operational practices, improved quality and process performance
  • Lower Risk: Agility and flexibility to manage changes in business and technology environments enabling effective technology lifecycle management and faster maturity of integration

According to industry research, the top-performing ICCs will save an average of 30% in data interface development time and costs, 20% in maintenance costs, and will also achieve an average of 245% reuse of resources to carry out integration projects.

In the past, these savings have only been reserved for large enterprise users, but this does not mean that smaller enterprises should not keep a close eye on this concept.

Fifty percent of large enterprises have already set up own ICC in place. Going by the trends we foresee that more than 75% of large enterprises will have their own ICC by end of 2009.
