Integrating the systems or the workflow: can we really automate/integrate everything?

How effective are integrated system, is using a single tool always the best solution, can we get rid of the human part of data analysis ? Is it better to have an integrated system under a single overarching architecture or is it better to have a suite of tools? What are the pros and cons of the two solutions and what have been the choice of different NGOs for different project? Where do you stop integrating the system?
