Praruh is a system integrator company in India. Vishal Prakash, CEO & CMD tells us about how the system integration has evolved today.
What are the new challenges in system integrator - hardware and software in 2021-22?
Every enterprise today has a diverse set of applications and systems, and connecting them is one of the biggest challenges that IT faces. Some of the most significant and common challenges in the industry are as follows:
Choosing The Best System Integrator Tool
With so many tools on the market today, choosing the right integration tool is a challenge for businesses. In today's digital-first world, an integration tool that supports hybrid integration is preferred because it enables local applications to integrate seamlessly with cloud-based applications. They are preferred because enterprises may not want to completely rely on the cloud due to legacy systems, regulatory compliance concerns, and security & privacy concerns.
Lack Of Tender Evaluation On QCBS Based Criteria
Most of the Government and PSUs Organisations used to evaluate the System integrator only on cost basis rather than both the technical and financial capabilities. At times only cost based evaluation criteria leads to compromise in the quality of work because of the highly competitive environment. As a system integrator it becomes challenging when you want to give priority to the technical work rather commercial factor in the absence of the QCBS criteria.
Rapid Changes In Technology
Most integrated systems are designed to solve a specific problem. With technology evolving virtually every day, they may become obsolete if they are unable to keep up.
What new opportunities are going to emerge in system integration in 2022?
Increasing scalability and widespread adoption of new technologies across industries have led to an increase in demand for system integration solutions globally. The demand further escalated during the pandemic as several organisations were forced to alter their business models and adopt remote working solutions that required secure and easy real-time remote access to data. Even after the pandemic, organisations will continue to invest in these solutions to deal with uncertainties and be future-ready.
High Investment In IT Infrastructure
The growing adoption of advanced technologies to modernise processes, such as big data, cloud-based services, and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), has raised investment in IT infrastructure across industries. The absence of the right system integration solutions may result in technical complexities such as data security issues, data theft, data redundancy, and backup issues. This increasing technological adaptation and investment in modernising IT infrastructure offer a great growth opportunity for the industry.
Increasing Need For Cybersecurity
Organizations are increasingly realising that applications and automation are only as secure as the building blocks on which they are built. Hence, the need for integrating security solutions has become critical.
Increasing Need For Hybrid Integration Solutions
As the pressure to innovate faster continues to rise, the need for hybrid system integration solutions that seamlessly integrate with internal systems to drive greater agility and performance has become critical for organisational growth.
