Techopedia Explains Service Integration And Management

Experts point out that with the rise of cloud services and other advanced technologies, business services are becoming harder to manage. In many ways, the idea of integrating services is much like the idea of integrating multiple applications or programs into a single IT interface. One difference is that with service integration, the components are often branded technologies created for a particular service provision. Those involved in Service Integration and Management must consider how to link these technologies together and help them to work with each other to serve an enterprise client.
