The popularization of desktop computers, replacing writing machines, and new solutions supported by neural networks, have passed in less than 20 years.
From now on, we have to practice the laptop, the fim of the dial-up connection, the connection of 3, 4 and 5G, the dissemination of two mobile devices, the innovations in Big Data, the virtual servers, the software as a service… And these are just a few of the incontáveis changes traced Pela IT day by day for companies!
The problem is that both organizations and technology are only living organisms that evolve permanently. Com isso, legacy systems, which made sense in 2008, are not more useful in 2018. Likewise, management solutions that do not trace scalability among their virtues become useless in a time when everything is new.
Assim, what was to be alavanca became an obstacle: system integration is, therefore, a critical factor in the IT infrastructure of modern corporations.
But why do companies have so much difficulty in unifying their computer systems? Let's now understand the current problems of the corporate Tower of Babel!
Efficiency gaps of companies without systems integration
Be honest: why do you want to implement an ERP in your business if data generated by software is not exported to your physical solutions? If this deficiency continues to force the accountant to do non-Excel tax calculations and insert cadastral data manually, why should you create a business management system for your organization?
In practice, there are many examples of cases of melancholic symptoms caused by the lack of synergy between computer solutions. In the case of loss of time of officials who date business in an environment, they run to another layout to submit the contract and, only then, return to the initial system to attach the document.
That's it: a huge waste of energy, focus and work day.
What does the URA say about many customer service centres, which require the consumer to enter their CPF number, address the telephone number, and do not start the personal service logo, so that they have to pass all the data given again? Do you know that this is productive?
It seems that the ultimate objective of having corporate technology is to give dynamism to businesses, mobility to the date of contracts, synchronization of information between all departments, reduction of communication errors and reduction of errors by force of automation.
If a company grows by implementing new systems, but by neglecting their integrations, the sense of investment in IT is lost and the organization becomes more competitive than ever in the era of data printing, FAX and Telex machines. Could it be that your company is not suffering from this deficiency?
Main benefits of system integration
Harmonizing the data that your company deals with results in a universe of advantages. We quote some main days to follow. Trust!
End of communication failures
Imagine the negative collection department of a client that has removed two debits from the financial sector. With system integration, that type of error simply does not exist.
Increased productivity
With a system such as Salesforce integrated into an electronic procurement platform, contracts can be assigned within the CRM environment itself.
To make this virtue less abstract, it is enough to point out that DuPont has increased its 300% and used CRM internally with the implementation of DocuSign, the most important electronic assimilation tool on the market.
Reduction of errors thanks to automation
If your ERP exports sales data for its solutions in accounting management (which, in turn, is only capable of calculating the value of taxes automatically), the possibilities of inconsistencies are significantly reduced.
An example is the current difficulty faced by accountants in adapting to confusing new ICMS calculation methodology in interstate operations. Thanks to the automation of apurações, which works in companies with system integration only with multiple rate formulas.
Intelligent production, sales and stock management
Integrating systems means dating sales with negotiations automatically generating discounts in a stock system. Integrate these business goals managed in real time by means of Business Intelligence solutions linked to the company's ERP. Integrate and maintain a marketing meeting schedule in Google Drive, being able to export it directly to the organization's CRM when necessary.
Integrations of an electronic consulting platform
Does your company not exactly have an integration model? Ainda is on time! This is the first step to provide this operational intelligence in your work routines and to equip the electronic system, which must be integrated into your most important systems.
A platform like DocuSign can communicate via Application Programming Interface (API) with more than 600 different applications, allowing, for example, to execute a procurement contract directly from SAP Ariba, giving more speed and efficiency to the workflow of its supply chain. More advantages provided by this solution in the integration of systems also in the purchasing area!
A company that uses electronic information integrated with Salesforce, for example, can measure how many information is dated in a month of sales, all directly in CRM.
It is also possible to guarantee a truly secure digital opportunity in Office 365/Dynamics, as well as including its information in PDF e-mail attachments.
Finally, with this system integration offered by DocuSign, you can also submit documents to be accessed directly in Gmail and Google Drive. Doesn't it seem ideal?
Not to mention, the harmonization of resources and data allows a company to be able to sell from any place, approve marketing campaigns at any time and grant contracts without using its ERP or text editor.
Everything is done electronically, without paper, without costs with stationery materials, without postal expenses and, of course, without a (harmful) loss of time in the consolidation of a traditional contract.
Do you now understand the importance (and urgency) of bringing systems integration to the day-to-day life of your organization? Take the opportunity to learn more about the DocuSign + Salesforce integration and truly enter the era of two digital businesses!
