4 Integration How easily does the application integrate data and processes? Please consider the efficiency of both data (e.g., batch, ETL) and process (e.g., real-time, Web Services) integrations; the ease with which integration can be changed to reflect changing business processes; the degree to which data translations, technology adapters, and interfaces are hard-coded within the application or abstracted into integration hubs.
