Posted on February 2, 2023 by - Cloud Migration, Enterprise Integration Solutions, IT

There are many financial benefits to enterprise integration and employing Digibee’s enterprise iPaaS, such as the cost saving of being able to use more junior developers, but beyond that there are also sizable financial gains to be made through speed, namely the benefits of a faster time to revenue through a faster product release cycle.

The Bigger Picture: How Data Analytics Integration with EI Support Retail Demand Forecasting

Posted on January 31, 2023 by - Enterprise Integration Solutions, Retail

Retail information systems must find a way to work as a conduit between the digital world and the physical world, a real challenge when both are constantly changing in different ways. On one end, the customer expects a quick, easy, personalized omnichannel experience from the comfort of their couch, on the other end your retail IT solutions have to not only provide that, but then also provide a fast and seamless delivery of the physical items they bought, even if it’s 200 pounds of Italian marble for their kitchen counter. 

Every physical product requires raw materials, manufacturing, and then shipping to (at a minimum) the end user. As there is no way around incurring these costs, ending up with excess inventory can quickly become a major expense. But since this manufacturing process also takes more time than a customer would be willing to wait, in most cases it has to be completed prior to a client’s order, meaning a retailer again ends up in a challenging position where they risk having too much or too little on-hand. In this way, accurate retail demand forecasting is essential for preserving your bottom line.

Why In-Demand Tech Jobs Will Still Be Hard to Fill in 2023

Posted on January 24, 2023 by - Enterprise Integration Solutions, IT

The “Great resignation” is over, and with it some of the hiring challenges seen in the past years. Moving away from the pandemic lockdowns and into global economic unrest, what jobs continue to be hot in a cooling market?

If recessions are upon us, will we soon see the historical high unemployment seen in past recessions, and therefore a swift change in favor of employers who had previously struggled to source talent? Not quite. Forrester predicts that 80% of companies will pivot their innovation efforts to prioritize resilience, meaning that while some roles may now be less competitive, or even at risk, the roles that most closely align with the goals of resilience will stay as in-demand tech jobs in 2023.

Retail Digital Transformation in 2023: Loud and in the Cloud

Posted on January 19, 2023 by - Cloud Migration, Enterprise Integration Solutions, IT, Retail

The cloud, combined with digital technologies, has reinvented how retailers connect with and serve their customers. Once the domain of megastores and e-commerce platforms with the budget and resources to support on-premises infrastructure, today the cloud is unlocking digital customer experiences for retailers of all shapes and sizes. 

And merchants are loving it, able to create personalized and curated experiences across multiple channels while driving up conversion rates and average order value (AOV). But it wasn’t always like this.

How Data Integration Benefits Businesses Beyond the IT Department

Posted on January 12, 2023 by - Enterprise Integration Solutions, IT

The right integration solution can mean huge gains for your organization’s IT department. It’s not a secret – in fact, it’s the focus of most articles about the benefits of data integration: reduced costs, improved developer efficiency, and less reliance on increasingly hard-to-find IT specialists. But what about the rest of your business? 

If your IT department is among the few that have no trouble with skills shortages or rising costs, you might think you don’t need an integration platform. Don’t fall into this trap. There are a variety of ways other departments can benefit from the adoption of an integration platform as well.

Why Isn’t Your Integration Platform Helping to Reduce Your IT Backlog?

Posted on January 10, 2023 by - Enterprise Integration Solutions

IT teams are under increasing pressure to resolve burgeoning backlogs. Perceived by internal stakeholders as a critical business blocker, failure to execute on these initiatives impacts the future success of the business. With too many projects and not enough time or resources to make headway, a neglected backlog of work also impacts IT morale. No one likes a backlog.

How Will IT Spending Trends Drive Innovation in 2023?

Posted on January 5, 2023 by - Enterprise Integration Solutions, IT

It doesn’t take an expert to identify that the US economy – and really, the global economy – is not at its most stable. Discussions on recession, cost-cutting, and finding efficiencies are everywhere. And in many cases, the IT department is the focus of those looking to free up extra dollars amid economic instability.

At the same time, the tech industry outlook offers stories of innovation, integrations, and new solutions. The contrast is stark. What is the future of an IT industry on the cusp of so many new developments without the funds to pay for them? And which IT spending trends will shape enterprises in 2023?
