This means lower costs for your IT department. You/IT can adapt and change these business processes without impacting the underlying applications, allowing you to respond more quickly to changing business drivers. This is key, businesses need IT to be able to offer rapid change to processes, this is not possible with hard coded integration And you/IT can protect the value of your integrations through AIA’s extension framework that preserves the integrity of your business processes as you upgrade or change applications.
