Systems integration involves the consideration of how a set of components interact with one another during the entire life cycle of a system. An important step is the progressive linking of system components to merge their function characteristics into a comprehensive interoperable system. It is essential to analyse how components, stakeholders and processes interact to achieve a defined function.
The railway group has applied these principles to a range of large scale multi-participant projects.
