application integration vs. data integration.
Through application integration, Referit connects different systems. This ensures that all relevant information is up to date anytime, anywhere. With application integration, Referit makes your complex IT environment simple and flexible. We are experts in BizTalk, but these days we’re increasingly opting for Azure cloud solutions. Curious why? Check out our article and webinar on why you should migrate from BizTalk to Azure Integration Services.
With data integration, we consolidate data from various sources to enable, for example, central reporting or central monitoring and Master Data Management. We use Azure Integration services for this purpose.
integration platform: azure integration services.
Referit is an official Microsoft Partner and takes full advantage of Azure Integration Services as its primary integration platform. Azure Integration Services is an advanced set of services that provide the ability to seamlessly connect and integrate data, applications, and processes. The platform supports the integration of both cloud-based and on-premise systems, enabling businesses to improve efficiency and achieve a seamless, automated flow of information within their IT infrastructure.

always relevant azure services.
Azure offers a wide range of services specifically focused on both application and data integration. At Referit, we use the Azure services listed below to develop solutions for our customers.
Application integration:
- Azure Logic Apps: low-code;
- Azure Function Apps: code;
- API Management;
- Azure Service Bus.
Azure Logic Apps and Azure Function Apps allow our developers to automate complex integrations and workflows using a visual design, without the need for a lot of code. Azure API Management helps organize and manage APIs. Azure Service Bus provides reliable messaging between applications and services even under high load and unreliable network conditions.
Data integration:
- Azure Data Factory;
- Azure Synapse Analytics.
In terms of data integration, Azure has powerful services such as Azure Data Factory and Azure Synapse Analytics. Azure Data Factory is a cloud-based ETL and data integration service that allows businesses, to collect, transform and load big data from various sources. Azure Synapse Analytics, on the other hand, is an integrated analytics service that combines big data and data warehousing.
always the best application.
For years, companies chose monolithic applications. These are stable and secure, but also very inflexible. More and more companies therefore choose the best application for a task, such as CRM, HR or planning, which is called the best-of-breed strategy. In addition, Referit also realizes a customized solution through application development. Best-of-breed choices work optimally, but also raise integration issues. We ensure that applications in the cloud or in data centers continue to communicate well with each other, for example through Azure application services and Azure Integration Services.
always real-time supply chain integration.
Companies never stand alone. They are part of a chain with suppliers, customers and logistics partners. And those parties all communicate intensively with each other. This requires far-reaching digitalization and integration of information exchange. We realize solutions with EDI connections and Azure Integration services.
This is how we ensure that logistics processes—right through to invoicing and beyond—run smoothly and that data is delivered in real time.

always optimal business processes.
Sometimes business processes can become quite entrenched. In those cases, work is done “simply because that’s how it’s always been done.” It’s time for a fresh perspective! After all, why do things manually when they can be automated? Automating business processes prevents errors and saves time. Employees have more time to focus on their core tasks. And that benefits everyone: the organization, employees, and customers. Discover 5 steps to optimize your business processes here .
