Software works better when it's connected
Often, systems work better when they’re connected, but frequently, when they were commissioned, nobody knew they ought to talk to each other. That’s where systems integration comes in.
Glow frequently integrate software systems in order to deliver projects for our clients. We’ve integrated systems for National Rail, NHS and Beckman Coulter.
When systems integration is done well, the user has no idea it was even necessary, but behind the scenes, two or more databases may be swapping complex information in realtime, across the web, ensuring that nothing is lost, overwritten or corrupted.

The Technology
There are many ways to bring systems together, and choosing the right ones for your purpose often involves judging budget against requirement. Too light a touch might not do what you need. Too heavy might be inappropriate for your budget. Use our experience to guide you. Examples of integration technologies include:
Embedding
Simple software embedding & iframes
Web Services
SOAP / XML
Application Programming Interfaces (API)
We can create or work with existing APIs
Direct Database Integration
Where required, we can enable direct database integrations
