- Control flow
- Data security
- Information silos
For instance, a business might not want any details revealed to competitors and might hesitate to use other systems

Example: Providing valid data between different silos to control if there are changing decisions along the process.
In the field of international insurance, the processes per country are different and the systems used by various parties in these systems are different in capability and scale. Some companies use full stack ERP systems and some use a simple desktop computer with basic software. Connecting these systems seamlessly and in real time is the major challenge.
Data mobility
Having data be accessible and simply on-demand to any relevant stakeholder within the company is important. Many companies still push paper around and mail documents which could simply be digitalized and sent within a handful of seconds.
Systems where real-world events hit digital triggers and act accordingly allow data to be as efficiently mobile as possible. Once the systems are in place, it can be far more cost and time effective.
Data trustworthiness
Data is often easily able to be manipulated through document forgery. This could be faked signatures, âinspect elementâ jobs, or imposter documents which are incorrectly considered reputable.
The ability to manipulated data is obviously not exclusive to legacy physical documentation, however blockchain applications can help mitigate the potential for data forgery.
Control flow
Retaining appropriate record of decision-making along life-cycle of a company project can be difficult and messy. And if not done properly, the side-effects can be significant.
An example of control flow issues could exist in supply chain projects, where breaking decisions are made often. When these decisions are not accounted for across the board, resources may be taken to the wrong destination, or situations where the entire organization collapses.
Three challenges in the field of business integration are :
An example would be the integration of Data by commercially transacting business seamlessly. being validated. verified. and secured by using an email address.
Three challenges in the field of business integration:
1.) State Management: all parties being able to keep a uniform record among a multitude of active databases, and those messages being properly relayed.
2.) Changing Requirements: making changes to existing workflow when other parties join (the more that join the more complex this process becomes).
3.) Data Integrity: managing/mapping where all the data is sent to, and making sure that data is encrypted in a permissioned channel to avoid potential leaks of precious info to competitors.
Example: A challenging example I could think of lies in my third challenge listing of possible precious data becoming leaked. Because blockchain is open-sourced (most business applications being built on Ethereum Mainnet with publicity), a business might want to keep their data and interworks more private in case of a competitor trying to get ahead. They might find initial adversity with creating a permissioned channel, and will need the utmost security and encryption to guard their advancements.
Three challenges in business integration are:
Security
Notifications
Control flow
Businesses can track order updates and if thereâs any challenges along the way inconsistencies will be brought to light.
So many good responses;
i may concur with technically speaking:
companies may respect the data immutability after transactions to be reliable and efficient; however certain internal process on both sides should be enabled to avoid, last minute changes that compromise trust, revenue and decrease reputation.
not all participants of the enterprise system would have the same required skills to manage or have the resources to admin; it would require a democratic funding to have all peers able to be in the enterprise blockchain.
legal practices may adjust to this new middleware to protect data.
Three challenges of business integration:
Example: If the standard operating process of any work stream changes, then the business integration needs to change across the organisation in each department rather than through a single point of control, like that of implementing a new and updated smart contract.

Setting up the system and challenges associated with that.
Notifications: One challenge in the field of business integration for the Baseline Protocol is ensuring timely and accurate notifications about important events or changes. For example, if a company is using the Baseline Protocol to track the status of orders in its supply chain, it is critical that all relevant parties receive timely notifications when an order is placed, shipped, or delayed. If these notifications are not properly managed, it can lead to delays, mistakes, and other issues that can impact the efficiency and effectiveness of the supply chain.
Control Flow: Another challenge in the field of business integration for the Baseline Protocol is managing the flow of control and decision-making within an organization. For example, if a company is using the Baseline Protocol to manage its financial reporting process, it may need to carefully coordinate the flow of information and approvals between different departments and stakeholders. If this flow is not properly managed, it can lead to bottlenecks and delays that can impact the accuracy and timeliness of the financial reports.
Changing Requirements: A third challenge in the field of business integration for the Baseline Protocol is managing changes in requirements or processes over time. For example, if a company is using the Baseline Protocol to manage its product development process, it may need to adapt to changes in customer needs, market conditions, or regulatory requirements. If these changes are not properly managed, it can lead to costly mistakes or delays in the development process.
e.g. When integrating businesses using different management systems, notification of desired parties should be acknowledged, message exchange must be available and facilitated, and the control flow should be integrated.
Three challenges of business integration:
For example, confirmation when a message has been sent and received (read) and this has been acknowledged and confirmed, keeping a record of all messages which have been sent and keeping a record of all processes and in particular if something needs to be cancelled, mapping to keep track of where all information has been sent.
Cost of setting up Baseline protocol. Smaller companies may not have the budget or IT framework. They may lose business opportunities because they donât have systems compatible with bigger companies that use Baseline protocol
Security level of different systems are different. Some may need an entire restructuring before they
Would be compatible to use an integrated system.
Automating the systems to be Baseline Protocol compliant may require costly restructuring that some companies may not have the budget for.
