6. Using standards for integrations Proof in numbers
Without a standard: The number of integration points between any two objects (assumes two way integration) grows at a rate of n(n-1).
4 components = 12 interfaces 10 components = 90 interfaces 20 components = 380 interfaces
With standards: Going from ‘many-to-many’ to ‘many-to-one’ dramatically reduces integrations and costs.
Formula = n * 2.
20 components = 40 interfaces
