Integration and Changing Your Oil

Connecting music to a portable device is a data integration problem solved by a solution called an MP3 manager like iTunes. Connecting your photos in your camera to your computer is a data integration problem solved by a photo application such as iPhoto. Connecting your CRM software to your Accounting software is a data integration problem solved by…?

Here exists a common problem lacking sufficient affordable solutions. Many would have you think all integration problems are different than the previous two. Why? Because they are trying to sell you a tool to fix the problem rather than a solution that solves it.

We could sell you a software tool that for you to use, and / or we can attach a week of consulting, a month of development and an additional week of implementation to build a “solution,”. It’s the same thing selling you a wrench, a bucket, 6 cans of oil and calling it an oil change. Let me clarify before all the software tool vendors go on their rants. There are problems that require the more painful approaches. Not every integration problem is a candidate, but some are common enough that they can and should be packaged. Using the oil change analogy, you can probably change your oil, you would need help to overhaul your engine. Call an expert when required.

We are providing data integration solutions that solve common integration problems. Solutions like QuickBooks to salesforce.com, QuickBooks to Microsoft Dynamics CRM, and Salesforce Data Replication. We will be working on new solutions all the time, whether business or consumer oriented. They will be self service, they will be prepackaged, they will be affordable.
