Application Integration
No single software application is used to run a business. ERP systems supply a foundation, but often do not have the depth of functionality needed in certain areas.
Specialized applications can fill these gaps, but they usually require access to information within the ERP system.
We have broad experience interfacing QAD with specialized applications.
Some guiding principles when designing an interface are:
- - Provide seamless transfers of information
- - Avoid data redundancy
- - Use standard application interfaces to update databases
