harmonization
Bringing into agreement
Harmonization is the noun that corresponds to the verb harmonize.
Harmonization can be achieved in music, but the word is more often used to convey the idea of making a number of different things work together effectively: The group is working on the harmonization of national laws governing the sale of insurance.
Harmonization can also refer to the process of making something work in harmony with others: The harmonization of the university’s faculty and staff salaries was a contentious issue.
