In general integration is getting applications to successfully interact and exchange information. This ability requires data to be formatted in a particular way. There are endless ways to format, and each application formats in its own way. One of the core elements of integration involves data transformations, converting one format to another. Another core element is information transportation.

The business environment of today places more and more stringent demands on adaptation and the player that most efficiently interacts with its counterpart is often the one that succeeds. Regardless whether you need to transmit single electronic invoices or if your entire business model is based on enabling electronic business for others, there is a product for you and your organization in the suite of software Inobiz offers.

To invest in an integration platform might be like getting over a threshold; many experience that the solution they’ve got today works. The return on such an investment is better judged over a period of time, however. Initially there is a cost up-front which caters for more efficient use of existing resources and lowered cost for maintaining and adapting the infrastructure. You could also automate many manual tasks that could be sources of problems – at the same time that the assignees get more time to do productive work.

Many organizations with in-house integration solutions today experience that they are reliant on key personnel, possessing unique knowledge about the relations between the various parts of the organizations IT infrastructure. With a dedicated integration platform you eliminate the risk of finding yourself in the situation that you software is obsolete or that there is no-one around who can administer it.

Another positive effect of using an integration platform is increased information quality. Inobiz integration products can be configured to validate input data against any predefined format, regarding structure as well as content. This means that invalid data can be corrected or the errant input be rejected before it enters your system. This way, you are assured that your data is valid and decrease the need for corrections and maintenance.
Common to all Inobiz products is a unified architecture and a mindset that leaves you in full control over the flow of information within the organization. Apart from easily foreseeing the result of changes, internally as well as towards business partners, you can rest assured that your solution is built on a general purpose platform that will be ready to accept the challenges of tomorrow.
