As organizations collect and store more information, data integration is becoming increasingly problematic. Nearly 70 percent of respondents to a recent global survey of IT professional and business users called data integration a high or very high inhibitor of new-application implementation.
What’s holding companies back? There are several key issues:
Lack of business case definition. Midsized and large companies cite “lack of collaboration between sales and finance” as their biggest obstacle when planning to create an integrated environment. They want to foster more dialogue and communication—but the current approach clearly isn’t working.
Poor data integration infrastructure. Many sales and financial managers would like to overhaul their existing approaches and adopt “Best Practices”; however, they are not sure where to start. Ideally, they would like a “map” for improving their processes, and would like to know what has been successful for others—but their peers are in similar situations.
Integration Technologies addresses these obstacles with an inspired new approach to data integration — “InterWeave SmartSolutions”. With InterWeave, companies can now connect their front, middle and back office with configurable solutions that implement their business processes and workflow. Now, every employee, no matter what application they are working with, will have the right information, at the right time, in the right format — all connected by InterWeave.
Compared with traditional enterprise software, InterWeave SmartSolutions Software as a Service (SaaS) approach offers numerous advantages, including:
The solution can be accessed on-demand, over the web, or deployed on-premises, in a company’s data center or hosting provider.

The Software as a Service Advantage
Software as a Service (SaaS) is the most powerful and exciting development in enterprise software in over a decade. Why is that? SaaS solutions solve many of the problems that have long plagued traditional enterprise software offerings, such as large upfront license fees, long implementations, complicated upgrades, and poor support. Fundamentally, the SaaS model simply provides better value to customers.
InterWeave’s Software as a Service Solutions can be accessed on-demand or deployed on-premises, in a company’s datacenter or hosting provider, in order to meet a wide range of customer needs. In both cases, InterWeave presents significant advantages over traditional enterprise data and system integrators:
