| Systems Integration: |
|
A systems integrator (SI) is an individual or business that builds computing systems for clients by combining hardware and software products from multiple vendors. Using a systems integrator, we can align cheaper, pre-configured components and off-the-shelf software to meet key business goals, as opposed to more expensive, customised implementations that may require original programming or manufacture of unique components. Creation of these information systems may include designing or building a customised architecture or application, integrating it with new or existing hardware, packaged and custom software, and communications infrastructure.

Systems integration has traditionally been a crucial speciality in the defence contracting industry. Proprietary, closed systems needs to be upgraded or, as is often the case, legacy hardware or software must be preserved within modern computing networks, graphical user interfaces (GUIs) or hardware connection standards.
