System Integrator in Dubai

System Integrator

System Integration is an engineering or Information Technology (IT) process that deals with merging various subsystems or components to perform as one whole or complete system. An Integrator is responsible for designing, merging and programming systems and to make sure that each component functions as required. System Integration also adds value to systems, by adding new functionalities and capabilities through connecting functions of various components.

Over the last decade, the combination of components or integration of a system, that cooperate to provide added functionality to various systems has been a priority in technology-based industries. System Integration is also known in simpler terms as a modular approach to system design and building. The entire process spans across different fields of specialization from hardware engineering to software design and programming. System Integrators have special attributes that cover a broad range of expertise and skill. The methods used in system integration include vertical integration, horizontal integration, common data format and star integration.

Vertical Integration is when components are integrated according to their functionality creating silos of functional entities. The method begins with the most basic functions at the bottom and moves upwards vertically. Although this method is really quick and requires a few developers, it’s long-term costs are higher. Adding components in the future would require creating new information silos. Horizontal Integration is used in the creation of systems with components that require a single interface between other components. This is also known as Enterprise Service BUS or ESB. Common Data Format uses a common format to prevent the system have to convert and translate information between applications. Star or Spaghetti Integration connects one component to several other components in such a way that the connections form a star.

All these methods are used in the integration of various systems from business applications and software to home AV and lighting systems. The services of system integrators are demanded by corporates, government and government-affiliated facilities and households in Dubai, across the UAE and globally. A few system Integrators in Dubai are set up at JLT, Sheikh Zayed Road, JAFZA, DAFZA and Al Garhoud in Dubai.
