Device and third-party software integration mean an extension of additional external data to an existing project using different devices or APIs (Application Program Interfaces). Using third-party software, developers can create a new solution in a shorter period of time, taking already existing components instead of writing new code from scratch, connect any type of device to your software to obtain new data, analyze it and process to automate the delivery and save operational time.
For example, if you want to design an app for delivering some services online, you may need a chatbot. The developers can create a new chat interface or use an available API and integrate it into your solution, that will be much easier.
The need for device and third-party software integration
Let’s look at some main benefits of such integrations:
- Time-saving. You can spend months coding a new solution or choose to use the ready-made integrations and pay more attention to other important developmental processes.
- Cost saving. The fewer man-hours you spend on creating new solutions, the more money you can save for other parts that need to be improved.
- Choosing the best features. When choosing among the third-party integrations, you can add the best possible features and devices. There a lot of experts in certain solutions, so you can use their ready-made devices or APIs and avoid possible issues.
- Medical device integration is a necessary part of most digital healthcare solutions aimed to deliver affordable services attuned to better patient outcomes. Such device integration can be often seen in health monitoring systems, symptom identification, and analysis systems.
Software integration can raise the production greatly, but if an app is built using too many devices and third-party integrations, this can lead to the major difficulties in its performance in the future.

Device and third-party software integration and your project cost
If you are thinking of adding device and software integrations to your product (be it a platform, web or mobile app, etc.) you need to keep in mind the following aspects:
- The more integrations you would like to involve, the higher will be the final cost of your project. Bigger projects need more technical features. If you need a quality product, you need to hire the best experts who can implement all necessary devices and third-party software integrations taking into account all spending and risks.
