Translation guide
The English word "integrated" describes something that has been combined into a unified whole. In Japanese, expressing this concept depends on whether you are talking about physical integration, system integration, social integration, or abstract integration. The most common and versatile options are 統合された (tougou sareta) and 一体化した (ittaika shita).
Describing something that has been merged or unified, such as systems, organizations, or components.

統合された (tougou sareta) is the standard term for 'integrated' in most contexts, especially for systems, data, and organizations. 一体化した (ittaika shita) emphasizes a seamless fusion into one entity, often used for physical or conceptual unity. For social integration, 溶け込んだ (tokekonda) is more natural than either.

The English word 'integrated' is often used in compound terms like 'integrated circuit' or 'integrated software'.
