3. Scalability and Security: Evaluate solutions that offer scalability, security, and seamless integration capabilities.
4. Total Cost of Ownership (TCO): Analyze the cost-effectiveness and advantages of various solutions.

Additionally, key integration requirements include multi-cloud architecture support for AWS, Azure, on-premise solutions; an agency-wide management portal; product-specific integration support; compatibility with major databases; support for various integration patterns; and governance mechanisms.
