Integration, integration, integration. It’s the software buzz word of the year and becoming more and more important every day. For systems that businesses use every day like email and client tracking, integration between systems can save time and offer a much better experience to both client and seller.

Often companies find themselves falling down a path of short term solutions. Using one-time solutions rather than investing time and money into a work flow for the future. Even though it is simple to type in an email address and send someone an email, it is often far more productive to invest in the complex solutions involving setting up web forms or generating automated responses.

Customer management is easily the biggest system that suffers from a lack of integration in today’s businesses. In an effort to create personalised relationships with customers and clients, businesses often hinder themselves and sacrifice time, efficiency and growth by hand tailoring solutions through various small systems. By using a series of small, specific systems that don’t communicate, businesses gradually create webs of data that are easily lost or confused.

In comes Integration. By using Integrated software, information is all available in one location that is readily available and always up to date. The effect this has on business is far more than simply ease of access. Integrations can increase productivity, dramatically improve response time, significantly reduce IT time wastage and cost and create an environment ripe for accelerated growth.
