Summary
The main messages in this chapter has been that integration can be a complex and, sometimes, messy exercise for which there are precious few prescriptions. That said, we present some useful guidelines and strategies, borne of experience, that can minimise the challenge. In support of this, the larger part of the chapter has presented case studies that illustrate issues that emerge in the real world and hints and tips that can inform the successful integration of back-end systems into an overall eBusiness solution.
