    Integrated system implies that the application(s) developed will be same, but can be used individually if required as a standalone application. In an integrated system, the software will be developed such that they will be able to function independently as well as together.

These products have been developed by eZee, keeping the fact in mind that users might want to use them altogether or individually as per their requirements.

    Interfaced solutions are two independently developed software which are integrated together to accomplish specific tasks. For example, Hotel PMS can be interfaced with a 3rd party Reservation system or a Channel manager. There is no particular problem with such interfaced solution, but having to deal with 2-3 different parties for payment and technical support can be a big hassle in crucial times.
