The Importance of an Integrated System

I recently came across an article from CIO Magazine that talked about the various ways that your ERP system could be hurting your business. The single most important item on that list referenced ERP systems that weren’t integrated with other systems that housed mission-critical business data.

Having data in two (or more) systems that don’t talk to one another is like baking a pizza crust in one oven and the toppings in another. Once baked, you may have some good food to snack on, but it sure isn’t pizza! Pizza requires the cheese and sauce and spices to bake with the crust. One takes on the flavor of the other and when you take a bite, you get a complete representation of the flavors.   

That’s the value of an integrated ERP system. When you take a bite, you get a complete representation of the flavors…meaning, you get one version of the truth. Everything comes together to allow you to analyze critical business data in an efficient way with no disconnects.

Crossroads consultants have spent years developing integration expertise to tie countless different systems to Infor ERPs. Here are some examples…

• RMCship 2- way logistics management solution integrated to Infor LN through ION
• OTTO Planning management software integrated to Infor LX & BPCS
• Kardex Power Pick Global integrated to Infor LN
• Avalara Tax Management software integrated to Infor LX & BPCS, Infor LN & Baan, and M3
• Subway and Moe’s Restaurant streamlined order management and Davisware Warranty Management solution integrated to Baan IV
• Development of a parts online portal solution for dealers and integration to Infor LN

What business-critical systems do you have that are not connected to your ERP? How could your business benefit if those systems were tied together?
