Have you ever counted how many unique applications you log into during your work day? It’s probably higher than you think. The average large enterprise company has over 600 apps in its tech stack1. And while each application may serve an important purpose in your organization, without a thoughtful approach to integration, you’re likely stuck with data siloes that are limiting productivity. For example, a lack of integration between your ERP system and e-Commerce platform can result in outdated inventory levels, leading to stockouts, order delays and unhappy customers.
Software integrations can range from simple to complex. Some modern SaaS apps now come with native integrations to other applications (a CRM with pre-built integrations to a marketing automation system, for instance). But the complexity can easily increase when dealing with legacy or homegrown software systems and incompatible data formats. While these types of integrations used to require months of custom development work, advancements in AI can automate significant portions of the integration process.
Here are three ways Adeptia uses AI to take the pain out of software integration, even in the most complex scenarios.
1. AI Data Mapping
Data mapping bridges the gap between different software systems and enables organizations to move data from a source to a destination in an accurate and usable manner. Disparate data formats and high data volumes can take weeks to map. Adeptia’s AI-powered data mapper uses AI to scan the source and target data schemes and can suggest highly accurate mappings in minutes.
2. Generative AI Business Rules
Sometimes you may only want to integrate data that meets certain criteria between your software systems. For example, you may only want to integrate data from the last year. Adeptia makes this easy with AI business rules. Users can type plain english business rules (e.g. “only include data from the last 12 months”) into the Adeptia platform, and instantly apply them to their data flow.
3. AI Document Processing
Often, businesses need to integrate documents and PDFs into their software systems for processing. For instance, many companies receive PDF invoices that they need to enter into their accounting system. Manual data entry for these initiatives is time-consuming and error-prone. Adeptia uses an AI approach called intelligent document processing to extract data from documents, map it and deliver it to your desired application.
Advancements in AI have unlocked new possibilities in the world of software integration. It’s time to stop accepting data siloes as a part of doing business, and move to a connected, intelligent future.
