The "American Heritage Concise Dictionary" defines integration as:

 - To make into a whole; unify

 - To join with something else; unite

This definition holds true when considering the IT task referred to as "software and system integration". Software and system integration involves taking a number of disparate components and engineering each component to integrate with all others.

From an engineering standpoint, integration is not a small task. It involves:

 - Careful analysis and selection of each component part
 - Analysis and documentation of the entire system, including how all the parts need 
   to fit together
 - Evaluation of each of the software pieces that will be required to deliver an end 
   product to the user
 - Engineering of each component to make it work successfully within the whole solution.
