Build Or Outsource That Business Integration Project?

The first question with any IT initiative is do you buy on-premise software and manage it yourself or outsource the work to a service provider? The same is true when it comes to business-to-business (B2B) integration projects, whether you are looking to replace a legacy B2B system, consolidate multiple B2B solutions or automate a manual process.

If you have managed the B2B process yourself, you know integration is hard. In fact, the management overhead, infrastructure costs and overall complexity often leads companies to look for external service providers. Today, enterprises also have the option of leveraging a cloud-based integration solution delivered as a managed service, providing not only complete outsourcing, but the additional economic and technical benefits the cloud can bring.
