Software Integration
Even companies that carefully scrutinize each piece of software
that they purchase can end up with several applications that do not
talk to each other, however, most companies do not have the time or
expertise to do a full analysis of each piece of software that they
purchase. So what are the options?
- Enter information separately into each application and
update the information in two or more places. This can
lead to errors in entry, inconsistency across applications, and
wasted effort.
- Purchase an integrated package to store all your business
information. This can limit your capabilities since no
integrated package has all the features required for every
business. This can often be costly since you will not get
all the features your company needs, but will pay for features
your company does not need but are included in the package.
- Develop a customized application for your business.
While this is a viable solution and we have done this for many
companies, it is not right for all business situations.
Many times a software solution can be purchased for a specific
business need, that will cost much less than a customized
application and contain all the required features for that
aspect of the business.
- Software Integration - Make an investment
into a solution that allows your software applications to work
together. This solution allows for you to select the
application that it is best suited for each aspect of your
business while allowing each application to share information
and enhancing the capabilities of each application. How
does this work?
Think of each application as an island separated by water but
very close to each other. We use our tools and expertise to
bridges and tunnels between the islands so that information is able
to flow between them. We can also build rest stops within the
bridges and tunnels where the information can be manipulated or
additional reporting can be done. We can even build new
islands where required to address business needs where no software
solution is available or appropriate.
