Business Integration Technology is a technology company that is focused on the business processes. We have exceptional depth in transportation, logistics, and supply chain, in addition to recent experience in financial services, banking, and enterprise application integration (EAI).

BIT offers four distinct services that can be delivered individually or combined into an integrated package specifically designed for your needs.

The first of these four offerings is an Integration Assessment and Roadmap:

A B2B integration assessment and roadmap defines the current state of your enterprise’s technical environment, determines the desired future state of your integration network, and outlines the optimal strategy for implementing your trading partner network. This service is typically delivered as a contract-based project.

Why an integration roadmap?

The demand for business-to-business electronic connectivity has never been greater. The focus on driving down costs for competitive advantage is also intense. Without a comprehensive business-to-business integration roadmap, organizations will not realize the maximum return on their investments in technology.

Business Integration Technology's expert team brings experience in proven methodologies, architectural best practices and an average of over five years B2B integration experience to the development of your B2B integration roadmap. BIT’s specialized team of technologists and business process analysts have successfully created B2B integration solutions for dozens of major corporations and can help you create an actionable roadmap for your organization - typically within only 4-6 weeks.
