With the design of the integration concept, all relevant aspects with regard to subsequent integration of the system into the operating infrastructure are compiled and conceptualized to such an extent that the system integration can be prepared.

Integration must be designed so that the system can be integrated into the target environment.

The integration defined in the system architecture is further specified. The interfaces with peripheral systems and the transfer from one operating environment (e.g. development, test, integration, training) to another are specified.

System integration is planned and recorded in the integration concept.

If a system is procured, the final integration concept design takes place after the award of the contract.

1. Solution requirements
2. Solution architecture

1. Define system integration into the peripheral systems, create specifications for the interfaces and record them in the integration concept.
2. Determine integration into the operating platforms.
3. Design the transfer of software, data, etc. between operating platforms.
4. Create an integration plan and record it in the integration concept.
5. Verify the integration concept with prototypes (test installations) if necessary.
6. Coordinate the integration concept with stakeholders.
