B2B Data Integration and Transformation Blog

At the end of the year, most companies are trying to wrap up in-flight initiatives and planning for the upcoming year. During this busy time, we often help our clients (and potential clients!) with their integration strategy and project budgeting and sizing initiatives. During these high-level strategic conversations, it’s important to nail down their integration “Why” – why are they investing in EDI and data integration and what are their desired business outcomes? If you’re not familiar with the premise of “Why” among the world’s best organizations as outlined by the thought leader Simon Sinek, check out his TED Talk, How Great Leaders Inspire Action.

When it comes to protecting your EDI system, you want to know that there are built-in features that will keep your investment safe from threats. You also want the assurance that these features will work seamlessly without human intervention. 

We are often asked about EDI conference opportunities that exist for integration professionals. Here are some conferences for 2018 that we have identified and some in which we will be participating. We view conferences as a great opportunity to connect with our clients and prospects as well as learn what's new in business integration. Which ones will you be attending?

Your EDI system is a business enabler. It allows you to send and receive vital information quickly and easily so that your company can stay competitive and agile. Security features in your EDI system protect it so that it can function properly.

A new year brings new initiatives. I was looking for a creative way to connect with customers and prospects and thought I'd try to deliver my blogs a little differently this year.

Recently my LinkedIn feed has been populated with not just great articles from business leaders, but short videos. I seem to stop scrolling to listen more often when I can see their face, I feel more connected to their message. So, to start 2018 I'd like to take a few minutes and talk to you about what I am doing to meet my personal and business goals this year.
