Understanding Cloud Integration 

Cloud integration involves connecting multiple cloud-based and on-premises systems to ensure smooth data flow, interoperability, and functionality. Effective integration allows organizations to unify disparate platforms, optimize workflows, and deliver enhanced value to customers.

Key aspects of cloud integration include:

• Application Integration: Enabling communication between cloud-based and legacy applications.

• Data Integration: Synchronizing and consolidating data across systems for real-time insights.

• Infrastructure Integration: Merging cloud and on-premises infrastructure to support hybrid environments.

• Security Integration: Establishing unified security protocols across all platforms.
