David Faye of Faye Business Systems Group will explain the benefits of integration, identify some of the key data points that you'd want to integrate, point out some of the different methodologies for integration, and then demonstrate some sample integrations including Sugar-MAS90 and Sugar-Intacct.

4. Introduction
 CRM systems are primarily designed to bring together
customer data from across the company and translate it into
meaningful intelligence.
 The promise of CRM is one 360 degree view of a customer.
 Some implementations fail to achieve this because of a
disconnect between CRM and the “Back Office”.
 Many companies purchase their CRM and ERP applications
from separate “best of breed” vendors due to business
requirements, potentially resulting in the CRM system
lacking visibility into back office data and transaction history.

21. Closing
 The success of a companies CRM implementation
and overall functionality, should not be judged or
based solely on its front office operations, but how it
interoperates with the back office — encompassing
people, processes, departments, and applications.
 Over the long term, companies using front to back
office integration capabilities can expect to
significantly decrease administrative costs, increase
customer satisfaction, revenue, and build sustainable
competitive advantage in an increasingly challenging
marketplace.
