One of the biggest barriers to many rapidly growing companies is a failure to effectively integrate their data. Many businesses use an array of different ERP, Accounting, CRM, Ecommerce and other systems, including cloud-based and on-premise, and the challenge that presents itself is getting this plethora of systems to ‘talk to each other’.

Communication between two or more systems, can often be viewed as difficult. Many businesses have not adopted the tools necessary to integrate, and instead manually enter the data, causing hours of wasted time.

Consider a business using Magento to process web orders that also uses NetSuite as an ERP system. Without integration this business will spend endless amounts of time transferring information about their customers and orders from Magento to NetSuite and vice versa. Not only can this be a significant waste of company resources, but it also leaves room for errors and mistakes that can be costly. This process is a common problem for businesses in all industries, no matter what systems they are using.

Having data spread across a variety of different systems can cause several problems for a business and the disparity often leads to an inability to meet your business and client needs. There is also the added problem that this can lead to decisions being made based on data that is often incomplete and inaccurate.

The reality is, that even today with the wealth of technology that is available, many businesses continue to operate in this fashion and are limiting their ability to grow.

Cloud Data Exchange, a cloud-based integration solution developed by the award-winning Eureka Solutions, is the perfect tool to enable the integration of business systems, allowing for the phasing out of costly manual data transfer processes.
