Death by a Thousand Interfaces
Your business relies on the ability to seamlessly exchange data with companies whose software is different from yours.

The traditional solution for sharing data between different software platforms is to build static interfaces for each data exchange linkage. So, if your company exchanges data with twenty other companies who use different software systems, then twenty unique interfaces have to be built to enable initial and ongoing data exchange. Then, these interfaces have to be maintained. Every time somebody changes a data format or layout, your interfaces have to be updated and retested.
Alternative workarounds include using "data standards" - everyone agreeing to format their data in the same way - or "dumbing-down" the data to a least common denominator like spreadsheets. Neither approach comes close to optimization and has its own drawbacks and costs.
All of these methods are expensive and time consuming. They delay on-boarding, thwart competition, distract IT resources, and eat profits. How much time and money does your company spend translating data and writing interfaces so you can get data in and out of your systems?
