• Wanted 100% cloud and accessible anywhere
• Didn’t want scripting
A Few Recommendations
Always have the big picture in mind o Customer 360o If integration and the API are robust enough, IT should be automating it (take the dual-
entry pain away and show the value)o Have an integration roadmap that includes apps and data / analytics
Be agile - don’t let outliers prevent you from integratingo 80/20 ruleo If the department is comfortable in their environment - let them do it with basic tools
