Integration with QAD Boomi AtomSphere
To compose a unified landscape of SaaS applications, manufacturers and supply chains need a robust integration platform:
- Configurable - Create and maintain connections through a toolset, avoiding bespoke programs that inevitably become unsupportable
- Secure - Keep your data and systems safe from external threats without sacrificing functionality
- Recognized and Supported - Empower your organization to get the support it needs from QAD, your own staff and a wide range of partners
Key Challenges
System Diversity - No system or solution provider can cover every need so every organization ends up with a different mix of vendors and products
Data Management - Many solutions depend on data that resides in multiple applications or requires external interactions; manual entry is error-prone and time-consuming
Numerous Consequences - Integrations can be complex and can lead to security breaches, lost or duplicated data and version locks across multiple applications when implemented incorrectly
Expensive to Correct - Integration failures are often caught after they occur, resulting in a multiplication of issues and related resolution costs
Program Features
- Industry Standard
- Controlled
- Ready to Connect
- Robust
- Connections within an enterprise, application-to-application (A2A)
- Communication outside of an enterprise like application-to-government (A2G), business-to-business (B2B), and regulatory compliance
- End-to-end EDI capabilities and services
Manufacturers often struggle obtaining comprehensive business insights because of separate applications. Similarly, manufacturers’ attempts to continuously improve processes and practices stall due to isolated solutions and systems. Manual data entry workarounds can result in financial and operational data errors that are expensive to resolve and, in the worst-case scenario, become visible to the customer. Custom-built home-grown integration proves difficult to maintain as the connecting solutions, systems and in-house IT staff change. Multiple integration solutions increase costs and interfere with the ability to make desirable application upgrades. Rigid integration prevents manufacturers from responding rapidly to new business opportunities and lowers business flexibility by slowing down the use of new deployment choices, like cloud.
