Providing efficiency by connecting your process flow
You probably have several applications that support your various processes. Connecting your process support systems has the potential to greatly enhance process efficiency. In a well-integrated environment the sales configurator will automatically receive, share and deliver information in correspondence with a wide range of other applications, such as CRM, ERP, PLM and PMM. By bringing your various process tools closer, different functions in the company are also brought into a tighter collaboration.
Saving time by eliminating your double maintenance
The “low hanging fruit” of using integration to reduce costs is the elimination of double maintenance. Typically, a lot of information exists in more than one application. For each type of information one application should be appointed as holding the master data. Integrations then mirror this information into other applications. By ensuring that each type of information is only entered and maintained in ONE place, you can realize huge benefits in terms of saved time and improved information quality.
