It is currently anticipated that the INTErnational Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory (INTEGRAL) will have been launched, and undergoing verification phase operations by the time of this workshop. I will present a status report, in addition to an overview of the observatory, drawing from pre-launch laboratory calibration tests and simulations. Emphasis will be placed on its capabilities for transient detection and monitoring, as well as its anticipated more general contributions to X-Ray binary studies. As part of the Core Observing Program, which comprises 35% of the available observation time for the first year of the mission, weekly scans of the Galactic plane will be conducted. The sensitivity for transient detection should be ~20 mCrab at 100 keV and ~800 mCrab at 1 MeV. I will discuss the prospects for this strategy and the planned followup (ToO) studies, under both the Core and Open Time Programs.
