“Digital transformation is the key… and integration is key to digital transformation.” — Andy Blank, VP of Offering Management, Prolifics
Integration – Yesterday and Today
Once upon a time — a long time ago — when a company first deployed more than one system, the concept of integration was born. For many of us, integration isn’t new. In fact, within the spectrum of IT projects, it’s often seen as necessary but not necessarily exciting.
“Not so fast,” says Andy Blank, Prolifics’ VP of Offering Management and an Integration Modernization Subject Matter Expert (SME). Andy is witnessing a massive — and exciting — shift: a surge in cloud adoption tied directly to digital transformation, with organizations investing heavily to stay competitive.
“The first thing to understand is the large shift that’s happened in the last couple of years — and continues to happen. There’s been tremendous growth in integration,” Andy explains. “It began with the need for new business models during the pandemic, but even now, with the pandemic behind us, this growth continues across industries. Companies are doing it — and doing it in a big way.”
According to Andy, we’re in the midst of a predicted $10 billion integration modernization growth period (2021–2026). This expansion is driven by the growing demand for digital transformation, which powers operational excellence, product innovation, and exceptional customer experiences.
“More and more systems have to talk to each other — across more environments, in more ways,” Andy adds. “With hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructures becoming the norm, integration sits at the center of it all.”
What to Look for in an Integration Partner
When choosing a technology partner for your integration modernization journey, Andy recommends evaluating them based on these key criteria:
- Do they begin with discovery sessions or workshops to uncover your true challenges — or do they jump in headfirst?
- Do they have a proven track record of success stories and case studies?
- Have they worked within your industry and understand how integration impacts your entire business ecosystem?
- Are they vendor-agnostic, or do they push only one platform or technology?
- Can they support the full lifecycle — from design to implementation and beyond?
- What post-implementation support or managed services do they provide once the project is complete?
“For companies out there, my message is simple,” Andy concludes. “Ask yourself — what are you currently using for integration? Because digital transformation drives competitiveness and success, and integration is the key to digital transformation.”
