What is an example of third-party integration?

One example of third-party integration is when a company uses another company’s software to supplement its own. For example, a company may use Salesforce to manage its customer relationship data and then use Microsoft Excel to do analysis on that data. The company would be integrating the two software platforms in order to get the most out of both. Other examples of third-party integration include using Amazon’s S3 storage service to store data or using Google’s Maps API to display maps on a website.
