BIG is\u00a0<em>system-agnostic<\/em>, meaning it can connect platforms such as\u00a0<strong>Oracle, SAP, Workday, JIRA, Azure DevOps<\/strong>, and others through integration tools like\u00a0<strong>TPG\u00a0PSLink<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Microsoft Azure Data Factory<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>These solutions act as the \u201cglue\u201d between systems, extracting,\u00a0transforming\u00a0and loading data across platforms so that reports and dashboards are always based on current, consistent information\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0without the need for massive central data warehouses.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>From Silos to Seamless Data Flow<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Both speakers recalled how earlier attempts at integration\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0such as those built on Lotus Notes\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0struggled with the limits of their time.\u00a0<strong><em>Today, the technology is different<\/em><\/strong>: secure access controls, cloud-based data services and modern APIs now allow organisations to combine visibility with governance.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>With these capabilities in place, organisations can\u00a0maintain\u00a0confidentiality while ensuring everyone sees the data relevant to their role. That balance between access and control is fundamental to BIG\u2019s promise of integrated governance.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Automation and Governance in Practice<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Automation is another important theme. Using tools like\u00a0<strong>Microsoft Power Automate Flow<\/strong>, organisations can embed governance processes directly into their ways of working\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0for example, automatically escalating risks, updating issue logs, or triggering notifications when decisions are\u00a0required.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>As Alex noted, risks and issues\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0just belong to projects; they exist across the entire business. Automating their escalation ensures the right people act at the right time, with a clear audit trail and no loss of visibility between change and business-as-usual.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>AI and the Next Phase of Integration<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Christopher also touched on the growing interest in\u00a0<strong>agentic AI<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; intelligent agents that could one day automate aspects of data collection and integration. While the potential is clear, he cautioned that we are not yet at the point where AI can replace the discipline of governed integration. There will always be the need for a human in the loop. Human oversight\u00a0remains\u00a0essential to ensure data quality and trustworthiness &#8211; something every executive will recognise as non-negotiable when decisions carry material risk.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Making Integration Tangible<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>To bring the concept to life, Alex and Christopher used the example of a\u00a0<strong>standard board agenda<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"895\" height=\"411\" class=\"wp-image-1872\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/big-cic.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-1.png?resize=895%2C411&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/big-cic.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-1.png?w=895&amp;ssl=1 895w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/big-cic.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-1.png?resize=300%2C138&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/big-cic.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-1.png?resize=768%2C353&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/big-cic.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-1.png?resize=150%2C69&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/big-cic.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-1.png?resize=480%2C220&amp;ssl=1 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width:767px) 480px, (max-width:895px) 100vw, 895px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>(Editor\u2019s note:\u00a0Clearly, a\u00a0<strong><em>standard agenda<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0does not have to be a\u00a0<strong><em>static agenda<\/em><\/strong>, and the information needed as time passes will change.\u00a0Standard agendas are there to provide a common framework, not stifle or impose bureaucracy)\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>BIG applies even here: standardising agendas ensures that key governance items\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0such as issues,\u00a0risks\u00a0and progress updates\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0are always reviewed.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Crucially, the data from those discussions can feed directly back into connected systems, creating a\u00a0<strong>two-way flow of information<\/strong>.
