Integration with other software systems

Many organizations acquire a few software pieces to meet a specific requirement but later realize the difficulties they have to effectively share gathered and related information.

This ends up duplicating sensible data, with more effort involved and errors incurred. The same problem happens with open source, only to learn the later case the user already has the code available and can further investigate critical points of failure and figure out solution alternatives before it gets to a critical state.
