Data timeliness—Integration should minimize the length of time between when one application decides to share some data and other applications have that data. This can be accomplished by exchanging data frequently and in small chunks. However, chunking a large set of data into small pieces may introduce inefficiencies. Latency in data sharing must be factored into the integration design. Ideally, receiver applications should be informed as soon as shared data is ready for consumption. The longer sharing takes, the greater the opportunity for applications to get out of sync and the more complex
