Efficiency is the cornerstone of competitive advantage in today’s marketplace, and C-level business leaders are focused on the integration of legacy systems and applications in order to both extend the lifecycle return of their technology and financial investments, as well as ensure their MYOB EXO ERP platform remains at the very epicenter of data exchange and capture in an “always open for business” digital economy.

 

EXO-ERP-System-Integration

The MYOB EXO ERP platform is capable of integrating multiple native and third party applications and platforms to achieve holistic control over business ares of competency.

But what is MYOB EXO ERP Integration? How does it differ from customisation and add-on modules, and what are some of the key benefits delivered within the business?

 

Unlike customisation which is generally confined to the modification of a single ERP instance or initial configuration of a ‘greenfield’ ERP deployment, MYOB EXO ERP integration involves the complex and specialist task of dovetailing an organisations existing proprietary and multi-vendor applications such as CRM, Supply Chain, Logistics, Accounting, E-Commerce, etc. into the EXO ERP core.

The ultimate goal of ERP integration is to create a business environment where processes can be translated into highly efficient system-to-system data exchanges and interactions, and where the reliance to interact with; and manage multiple applications, data-sets and analytics may be removed to focus on operational improvement, holistic streamlining and performance benefits.

ERP customisation also differs from EXO ERP integration in that it is typically driven by a requirement to modify how information is captured or presented from a user experience (UI/UX). It (customisation) does not typically extend out from the core EXO ERP platform to exchange or consolidate information with existing 3rd party applications.

For example, a travel agency may require the adaptation of a specific field or data set within their ERP system to capture information for a customer’s airline booking. This would be considered a customisation. But if we extend this fields ability to exchange and interrogate information in real-time directly with an airlines proprietary ticketing platform located externally of the travel agency we require the ability for these two platforms to interact and communicate – thus be integrated.

As our needs become more sophisticated and expand away from the internal MYOB EXO ERP Core Platform we discover that we need a partner like Indivia capable of integrating external applications and systems.

MYOB EXO Modules vs Integration

 

MYOB EXO Modules sometimes called “add-ons”, are purpose built turnkey applications that provide a business with the ability to expand the capabilities of their MYOB EXO solution as well as enhance functionality. Although these modules are engineered to seamlessly integrate into MYOB EXO ERP they do not natively integrate with 3rd party applications and in many instances themselves require customisation to achieve what the business ultimately desires.

 

What are the Key Benefits of MYOB EXO Integration?

 

In every ERP implementation, there comes a time where all systems need to communicate with other 3rd party and legacy applications.

Indivia’s ERP integration solutions allow data collection, warehouse management, and other 3rd party systems to integrate more easily and reliably with your MYOB EXO ERP solution. As your business grows and your needs become more sophisticated and complex some of the compelling reasons to integrate your MYOB EXO solution may include:
