Follow a Defined Process
Consistent results: Apply the same approach from integration to integration and across company functions

Resource planning: Forecast support requirements more accurately when there is a process to follow
Execution: Implement more successfully because execution is founded in a good process
Integrations should not be treated as a "one off" business exercise
