B2B Data Integration and Transformation Blog

Over the past 20 years Remedi has been an "All Things Integration" solution provider for our clients.  One of many roles that we play for clients is assisting with integration software acquisition.  We are a channel reseller for just a very few of the best in class software vendors that align well with the integration goals of our clients, and with Remedi.  Each of these firms bring a unique solution(s) to Remedi and our clients, with one of our parter software providers covering most all integration software and SaaS needs.

The most important advice for any decision maker considering an upgrade is to do your research. We include a checklist of points to consider before you spend a dime. For the technicians, we delve into the functionality of the suites and their role in a comprehensive integration strategy. Of course, upgrades and implementation require a thorough examination of your staffing capabilities. Are you ready to move forward, or do you need to reconfigure your staffing model first? Lastly, MFT functionality is a critical component of any integration suite.
