From Section 8 As the users go through the process of selecting the hardware and software items which will satisfy their requirements, they will find that equipment from several (at least two) different vendors are necessary. Because they will deal with more than one vendor, there is a need for you to be aware of the integration issue. Integration in this sense means connecting two or more devices from different vendors through the use of standard software. The simplest way to avoid problems with integrating equipment from various suppliers is to select software first, and then to select hardware that is supported by the software. This usually leads to a very workable PC-based solution.
