System integration is a broad term that encompasses many areas of business. Before describing how Thomas Pittman can help with system integration difficulties, it's helpful to discuss a few common types of problems that exist. Solutions are helpful too and are available from Thomas Pittman.

The database integration problem (or "who are my customers"?) : One common question asked by some large companies these days is this: "who are my customers"? The partner database is in a different technology and is managed by a different vendor in a different part of the country than the ERP database. Same with the CRM database. Same with the web lead database.. Same with the... You get the picture The problem isn't difficult to get into; different people manage these areas of the business and make choices about vendors and solutions according to their own budgets and needs. Thomas Pittman offers scalable, winning solutions to these types of system integration problems.

The web application integration problem (or "why do I need 7 passwords to access different areas of your web site"?): Unfortunately partners of some large companies find that to get key bits of information from corporate extranets, they need to log in several times and remember several different passwords. This is because unbeknownst to them, there are different web applications behind the scenes serving them the data each with their own authentication, databases, and technologies. Your partners don't know this and don't care, they just don't want to have to remember 7 passwords or login 7 times. Thomas Pittman can solve these problems for you.

The non-homogenous web technology problem (or "but my technical resource doesn't know JSP!"): In any economic climate, web marketing teams don't often have the money to hire a full technical staff; they might have one or two people on the team that can help. These resources might be fluent in ASP and elements of the Microsoft platform, as the corporate internet might be using these technologies. The partner extranet, for historical reasons, might be running on a LINUX server using a J2EE application server like BEA's Weblogic, Apache's Tomcat, or IBM's WebSphere. You can't afford to hire 2 more people who know JSP and Java servlets. What do you do? Contact Thomas Pittman for a solution.
