SYSTEM INTEGRATION: Definition (Oxford English Dictionary)

“The act of combining or adding parts to make a unified whole”

Using different systems is often a clumsy business. It also causes a lot of duplication of data entry and duplication of functions. This duplication is an extra cost on any organization or business.

E.G.

An organization has employee databases for:

• The PABX
• Lan Access
• The Access Control System
• The Payroll System
• The Personnel System
• The Library
• The Photo ID System

The employees name is entered into all of the above databases by 7 diferent people at 7 different times. If this became an integrated function then it is possible that this information would be entered buy one person once and all the other systems would have this information.

What DKS Security do is take a whole lot of different parts or sub-systems and design and build them into a single larger system. This is achieved via a whole lot of different methods which involve hardware, firmware and software.
