IBS Integrator – a connection to what matters
IBS INTEGRATOR talks to you
Learning to turn challenges into opportunities depends on how we think. How we think determines how we act, or react. IBS INTEGRATOR is a powerful tool for systems integration, data management, data replication and synchronization that allows you to think, act or react to all the possibilities of integration, including these advantages:
- Deliver ROI and measurable value by incorporating and streamlining a range of different, location-specific IT applications. IBS INTEGRATOR is able to integrate servers and databases, while simultaneously co-ordinating procurement, logistics and order fulfilment across countries and multiple languages and currencies
- Gain a competitive edge with seamless integration that results in higher efficiency and faster delivery times, which can lead to improved customer service and measurable value
- Increase collaboration with customers, partners and suppliers. Centralised logistics can lead to faster delivery to customers, as processes for moving goods from one warehouse to another become easier. Suppliers and partners benefit from lower transportation costs due to fewer delivery addresses
- Improve customer satisfaction. IBS INTEGRATOR successfully utilises web-enabled ERP functionality that increases accuracy. As a result, companies are able to minimise workloads and dedicate more time to issues such as customer service
 We are a time-critical business. Because of the low margins, we need to fulfil orders fast and accurately to have an advantage over the competition. There is no room for error.

Lost in different systems
In the current business environment of economic and high-tech challenges, information technology must deliver a quick Return on Investment (ROI), measurable value and a competitive edge. To achieve the results your business demands, you need both a technical and business understanding of what an integration solution can do for you.
Today many organizations find themselves lost in a number of different, unconnected systems that cost too much to upgrade and maintain. Successful and seamless integration of these systems is the key to running an efficient operation.
Because of the size and complexity of their systems, it is no surprise that businesses consistently cite integration as the number one area of concern. System integration is expected to be the biggest growth area in information technology in the next few years.
Searching inwards for solutions
Even though systems can function on a stand-alone basis, they must be able to communicate efficiently with each other. Making systems connect and communicate in an integrated way often demands a level of expertise that usually is not available in-house. While internal fixes can bring temporary relief, the long-term costs of deploying and maintaining unconnected systems usually outweigh the benefits.
Purchasing new, complex and expensive systems that might or might not deliver quick ROI can sometimes be risky. Instead, businesses are looking inwards to get more out of existing information infrastructures. The only way to do this is to investigate the capabilities that are possible through aligning and integrating current systems, such as IBS Integrator.
