More customers, more products, more markets. But what if that growth actually causes delays? What if every new customer, every new product, and every new regulation adds another layer of complexity to your systems? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In practice, we see that organizations run into difficulties with:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Manual data transfer between systems.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Errors caused by inconsistent data.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Delays in introducing new services due to IT backlogs.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Growth thus becomes a curse rather than a blessing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Why disconnected systems hinder growth<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider a typical scenario in the business services sector. A new customer signs a contract. The data must be entered into the CRM, linked to the ERP system for invoicing, forwarded to inventory management for delivery, and processed in the financial accounting system. If these systems aren\u2019t integrated, employees have to enter the same data multiple times, which leads to errors and delays. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The solution seems obvious: integration. Workato\u2019s record figures show that organizations that view integration as a cornerstone grow faster: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">35% year-over-year growth in ARR.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">50% growth in Net New ARR.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">61% growth in partner-sourced ARR.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ciphix.io\/en\/workato-partner\/\">Workato<\/a> offers a single platform for all data and process flows, with reusable building blocks and a partner ecosystem that ensures rapid implementation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">The business value of integration<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At <a href=\"https:\/\/ciphix.io\/en\/case\/a-scalable-digital-foundation-for-facilicom\/\">Facilicom<\/a>, they found that new systems could be connected twice as fast and errors could be resolved five times faster thanks to an integrated foundation. No manual data transfer, no delays due to IT backlogs. Instead, there is a seamless, automated flow of data between systems, leading to: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Speed:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> New systems can be deployed twice as fast.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Reliability:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Errors can be resolved up to five times faster thanks to event-driven architecture.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Real-time data streams<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> between systems, without manual intermediate steps.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this way, growth becomes a blessing once again.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">How Ciphix helps organizations accelerate growth<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Ciphix, we don&#8217;t start with technology.
