Technological advancements have brought about a sea of change, or rather streamlined business processes globally. The advent of the cloud infrastructure and its utilization has been a pioneer in this change. An increase in the number of organizations embracing cloud has motivated technology service providers to offer tools to expand and integrate other functions with the cloud platform. CRM and ERP are undoubtedly the applications most commonly integrated with the cloud. The integration of CRM is particularly helpful for the sales team, as information from the cloud and the CRM system can be used to carry out market researches, advertisement campaigns, and business surveys. Connectivity between different functional teams can be enhanced within an organization integrating related tools.
Cloud Integration may be defined as a process to connect all the applications, allowing all the data to be shared on a single mobile platform. Cloud Integration eliminates the need for a physical hardware to store data. This data will be readily available to the user anywhere, anytime and on any device; thus promoting agility and efficiency amongst the employees. Furthermore, the elimination of physical hardware and its maintenance relieves valuable resources for the company which can be utilized for several other useful functions.
In times of an expansion, the cloud integration system will seamlessly allow the increase in the number of users and in the number of applications. Cloud Integration boosts the connectivity within the company by supporting cross-company processes and has features to allow communication amongst employees. The use of Cloud Integration within a company also keeps the data safe from being altered by an unauthorized party. Cloud Integration has become widely popular amongst business organizations, corporations and government agencies for factors like accessibility, mobility, connectivity, expandability and time-conservative features. The popularity of technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning has created an expectation of more sophisticated and effective integration tools in the future.
