The integration competency center (ICC), sometimes referred to as an integration center of expertise (COE), is a shared service function within an organization, particularly large corporate enterprises as well as public sector institutions, for performing methodical data integration, system integration or enterprise application integration.
Data integration allows companies to access their enterprise data and functions, fragmented across disparate systems, in order to create a combined, accurate, and consistent view of their core information as well as process assets and leverage them across the enterprise to drive business decisions and operations. System integration is the bringing together of component subsystems into one system and ensuring that they function together effectively. Enterprise application integration enables efficient information exchanges and business process automation across separate computer applications in a cohesive fashion.
