# Integration-by-design / Integration-by-default

Through the concepts of by-design and by-default integration, Cooperlink highlights its DNA, namely to **give a boost to your existing tools** by allowing them:

- to be your source of truth only for all your projects
- make them more collaborative
- and structure your information with less effort

With these integration concepts, you and your partners have the latest versions of plans, datasheets and other documents **at all times,** without the need to download or duplicate them. This translates into:

- **better** **productivity** (fewer unnecessary manual operations),
- a higher **reliability** rate (fewer errors),
- and greater **security** (information is protected within the workspace and communication between partners is encrypted).

All companies that are integrated on the Cooperlink network automatically benefit from **this information on their own systems in real time.**

Segregate internal and external data for enhanced securityData is a critical resource for the company. Allowing third parties to access internal tools creates a security breach. In addition, managing the sharing of data from tools is complex and often leads to a disorder in the management of internal IT systems. Cooperlink therefore allows companies to create a boundary between the internal and external worlds to create a more efficient and secure dynamic of collaboration.
