These technologies are primarily what’s called “point solutions.” A point solution solves a problem at a specific point but may not integrate with other solutions. One example is a video conference app. It solves the specific problem of video conferencing, but may not integrate with calendaring, email, or file storage. 

While point solutions are meeting many needs, integrated solutions are also showing up. An “integrated solution” is one that includes multiple integrated applications that all work well together. For example, a product that combined email, chat, video conferencing, file storage, and security together into one solution would be considered an integrated solution.
