Cazoomi teams saw tremendous growth in SyncApps®, our marketplace where we offer an integration framework available to UNITE your company's data with your CRM platform. Our teams also helped 100's of you get your CRM implementation off the ground this year including tackling the integration piece many companies dread.

Using our simple framework, SnapLogic, Pervasive and also Dell Boomi with our members, we trust our partners to help us make the implementation journey a success for our clients.

Customer-centric & highly successful Dell Boomi partner, II-USA, delivered value on so many fronts this year we wanted to share with our members one of II-USA's success stories and the way their teams bring amazing value to the end customer in their Dell Boomi practice.

Project Highlight

Expediency Leads to Substantial Cost Savings 

The time urgency of completing the systems integrations at Burroughs was critical in order to eliminate a significant upcoming cost. The combination of Boomi’s quick design infrastructure, multiple connector suite, and robust management console coupled with IIUSA’s Boomi certified consultants allowed Burroughs to recognize an immediate cost savings of $430K the first month.  Over the upcoming year Burroughs will ultimately save over $5,160,000 in legacy systems costs.

Customer Quote

“Dell Boomi AtomSphere allowed Burroughs to integrate multiple disparate systems and alleviate multiple manual processes into a simplistic automated solution that is easy to maintain and understand.  II-USA has been instrumental in the development of our Dell Boomi integration platform and in training our IT and Business staff to manage the Dell Boomi AtomSphere integration going forward. II-USA is a valued business partner who guided our project with outstanding expertise and professionalism.”

Burroughs Company Bio

Burroughs Payment Systems, Inc. offers its customers access to world class service, industry leading technology, and overall support for a portfolio of payment related needs.

The Burroughs headquarters, located in Plymouth, Michigan is home to research and development, manufacturing, sales and support organizations for all product lines and services. These organizations are collectively responsible for both repeatable and custom solutions like the industry-leading SmartSource® check and document scanners and SmartCash™ cash automation solutions. Enterprise servers, device performance management software, a wide range of printer products, and a variety of financial supplies combined with implementation and maintenance services complete the Burroughs portfolio.

Business Case

Burroughs was undergoing a massive system reorganization that involved the reduction of 52 different systems to three distinct platforms:  Servigistics to handle service lifecycle management, Solarsoft  used as an ERP platform (handling accounting, manufacturing, and supply chain management), and Four51 as the public facing storefront. As the three systems were implemented there were very specific and mission critical integration needs identified:

•  When a service ticket is created within Servigistics, the corresponding supply chain management tasks associated with that ticket process need to be initiated and handled within the Solarsoft process.
•  Customer and contract data must be in constant synchronization between the Solarsoft and Servigistics system.
•  Part replenishment requests from Servigistics need to flow to Solarsoft.
•  Part requests made by service technicians using Servigistics need to flow to Solarsoft.
•  All shipments associated with part requests and service ticket fulfillment most be captured and updated in the Servigistics system.
•  Sales orders placed on the Four51 website need to be processed and shipped via Solarsoft.
• Shipment notifications from Four51 need to be captured in real time and the Solarsoft system needs to be updated with applicable data.
• Ability to email internal and external users at different process points in any of the defined requirements.
• All core integration had to be completed and production ready within one month.

Integration Requirements

Burroughs required the ability to connect to the following:

·         SQL Server Database

·         AS400 DB2 Database

·         SOAP Web Services

·         HTTP Request/Response Model Services

·         File system directories (via UNC and local  paths)

·         SMTP Mail Services

·         Set up and configuration of an HTTP listener that would allow Four51 the ability to send real time orders.

Along with the connectivity requirements, Burroughs was adamant about working with a platform that allowed for process scalability and failover.

Business Solution – Dell Boomi AtomSphere

After careful evaluation of the available options, Burroughs selected the Dell Boomi  Atomsphere® platform and Intellect International USA (II-USA) application engineers to deploy a fully tailored integration solution. Because of Dell Boomi’s large number of adapters available within the Dell Boomi environment, every one of the integration requirements were achievable within a single package. The Dell Boomi Molecule® technology allows for scalability across multiple machines, while preserving the concept of a single environment. Should one of the machines fail, process distribution is handled across the remaining atoms.

II-USA gathered the requirements for each of the integration needs and quickly established a plan of action to create, test and deploy the integrations . The integration processes comprised of many complex tasks including accessing of data from applications located at external sites, data mapping, transformation and validation, loading data into back-end systems, error notifications, exception condition just to name a few. Dell Boomi Atomsphere® automated all these complex processes within a single platform, where results could be easily monitored and reported on. The implementation of the Molecule® allows Burroughs to add environments as their number of integrations and volume within those processes increase as well as provide a failover plan which is consistent with their current infrastructure initiatives.

Dell Boomi Benefits

·         Easy to Modify Business Rules: To meet future integration and process management needs, Burroughs can easily modify existing business rules using intuitive and process oriented interface provided by Dell Boomi.

·         Easily Extend Integrations: Burroughs can continue to integrate with all of their data sources at no additional license costs. If a new integration partner is required, adding a connector is a very simple operation.

·         Reusability: IIUSA provided many reusable components to Burroughs, allowing for shorter development times in the future.

·         Scalability: If Burroughs integration needs increase, the use of the Dell Boomi Molecule® allows for the quick and simple addition of another processing node.

·         Reliability: If a server hosting an atom were to fail, the Dell Boomi Molecule® technology would shift processing responsibility to the remaining atoms.

·         Accessibility: Since Dell Boomi’s development, management and reporting console are all hosted in the cloud, Burroughs and IIUSA resources can access the environment from anywhere at any time.

Business Benefits to Burroughs

·         Error free transactions and streamlined processes were achieved without revamping Burroughs’s existing IT infrastructure.

·         Manual data duplication has been eliminated completely. Now there is no need for multiple and manual entry of data. Human assets use their time more productively.

·         Integration has made it possible to efficiently streamline manufacturing, shipping, and targeted service level agreement times, which has helped reduce the number of customer queries and minimize efforts spent on attending and resolving those queries.

Find out how II-USA has helped over 250+ clients solve these hard integration scenarios and can as well for your business today as you plan for 2012 and beyond.

We are a growing media publication with a huge problem: Lots of people who come to us enter through many doors.  And everyone in our organization needs access to our contacts, and needs to see what's going on, all the time. We use Zoho CRM to keep track of our contacts--thousands of them. 

We use Constant Contact for Newsletters, and occasionally for announcements of special deals with some of our other media partners.  When we do, we suddenly have another list to which we have SOME, but not ALL Access.  We have to know who generated that list, and how much permission we have to contact them. 

Getting the idea? 

Before Cazoomi, we literally spent hours managing contacts and media leads. Going to trade shows, conferences and seminars was a nightmare when we got back with stacks of business cards.  We had to sort each into different formats, upload to two different sites, and all the while we had no way of knowing in Zoho CRM if someone in Constant Contact opted out. We wound up using high priced sales and marketing talent, because it wasn't worth hiring and training someone else for something that happens in spurts.

So we really, really, really needed a seamless--emphasis on the seamless--way to get contacts synched between Constant Contact and Zoho CRM.  Along came SyncApps from Cazoomi.  We switch it on, schedule it and it just does its work.  We have a contact group in Constant Contact called Zoho, so we can see how many new people have come over from Zoho CRM.  If we duplicate someone by mistake, Constant Contact picks it up so we don't email someone twice, or--worse--email someone who has opted out. So now we just put any new contact into Zoho CRM, and let our Cazoomi SyncApp bring it on over. 

Between headache relief, cost savings, and the smiles on our sales staff, it's been a huge boon.

Thanks Clint and all the folks at Cazoomi.
