Integrations should allow organizations to operate out of one system and offer a single source of truth for information. While integrations simplify business processes and foster collaboration, some manufacturers aren’t sure if they should use a fully managed integration or elect to maintain their system themselves. Here is why a fully managed integration is a better option to handling everything about your integration alone.
Handling Your Integration On Your Own
As with any software, integrations must be monitored to avoid unplanned downtime or system failures. Because an integration is connected to other pieces of software like an ERP or CRM, all of your software platforms must be up to date in order to operate at full functionality. However, software updates have the potential to cause accidental issues on their own or with your integration. If you want to have your internal IT department to handle your integration, then they will have to manage these updates as well as troubleshoot after any complications. While skilled, your IT team doesn’t have integration expertise so this troubleshooting will take far longer for them than an integration expert. This takes time away from the essential work you hired your IT team to manage, adds stress to your employees and can even lead to unplanned downtime because of software issues. Don’t risk your production line by asking your IT team to handle a job outside of their area of expertise. Instead, look to a consultant like Datix. We take a business-first approach with our clients, so that we can tailor their integration to their exact business needs. Our integrations give our clients a competitive advantage and are fully managed so you can focus on what you do best: providing quality products and services to your customers.
