To stay competitive in today’s market, we need to make sure staff and customers have access to everything they need anywhere and at any time.
The integrated digital world is making many tasks easier, but also harder. By integrating your different technologies together, businesses can grow organically without having to worry about imploding, due to lack of efficiency or growth.
The truth is, systems that aren’t integrated, lead to an inevitable increase in total operational cost and resource consumption.
You should consider integrating all your business systems if any of these apply to you:
- Your company has grown beyond its current system's capabilities
- Your company has multiple locations or divisions
- You need real-time data across all departments
- You have experienced significant growth over the last few years but haven't had a corresponding increase in IT resources.
If you find yourself spending more than 10% of your time on administrative tasks, then there may be a need for integration between different business systems too. Or, if you have multiple people working on the same task or project, but they don’t always use the same system or even share information with each other, then this could also indicate a lack of integration between these business systems.
