API Restrictions	Introduces significant complexity which can hamper the performance of the integration process and scalability	Processes data faster and delivers an optimized solution without the pain of iterative development
Changes to Business Processes & APIs	Very expensive and time consuming to handle, requiring skilled programmers	Dynamic configuration changes to cope with changes to business processes and APIs
