Analysis of System Architecture and Integration - [Course Name]

This report delves into the critical aspects of system architecture and integration, examining essential considerations such as budgeting, project team composition, and the selection of appropriate tools for software development. It addresses the importance of data synchronization and the strategies needed to prevent project scope creep. The report highlights cost mitigation strategies and discusses the advantages, including improved efficiency and innovation, and disadvantages, such as potential communication breakdowns, of system integration. References to relevant literature and scholarly articles support the analysis, providing a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter.

1SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE AND INTEGRATION
Categories of consideration for enterprise system integration
The considerations that are needed for the enterprise system integration are
1. Budget: For completing the integration of project, the project budget is to be well-
defined so that budget is followed from the first day of project planning.
2. Project Team: Project team is to be determined for having successful integration of
software. Project team members are to be allocated for completing the integration process.
3. The appropriate tool: The right vendor is to be selected for getting the services for the
software that is being developed (Goodyear, 2017).
4. Synchronization times: Synchronization of data is needed at a particular time and thus
have to fix the time of synchronizing the data.
5. Synchronization direction: The direction of moving data is to be determined and thus
data synchronization is needed.
6. Cleaning of data: Cleaning of data is needed in developing a software and integration
of CRM and ERP system will help to clean up the system.
7. Beating the scope creep: This mainly happens when there is continuous change in the
project. The change that is decided by the project manager or executive are not circulated among
others associated with the project.
8. The project timeline: This is essential part of system integration as because detailed
timeline helps to complete the project within budget.
Mitigation strategy of issue

2SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE AND INTEGRATION
The issue that can be detracted from the project of developing the system is maintaining
the cost of development. There are always financial difficulties that are faced while software
development (Zhang, Wang & Lin, 2019). For mitigating the cost maintaining issues in the
project, the processes that are to be taken are:
1. Estimating the value of the project.
2. Undertaking internal cost for development.
3. There should be proper funding in the project so that there is no problem at the time of
development.
Advantages and disadvantages
Advantages:
 Improves efficiency as well as workflow (Chang et al., 2019)
 Improves the quality for recording the transaction
 Providing opportunities for the innovation process.
Disadvantages:
 Might have communication breakdown
 Does not include competitive edge
 There is increase in cost of the project
