Use our 10-point checklist when selecting Flow as your integration solution. We want you to get the best solution from the right decision.

  1. Does the integration product work with a diverse range of applications? If it doesn’t, you will need to reinvest in new integration technology if you replace any of those applications.
  2. Does the integration product support all established EDI standards and network protocols? If it doesn’t you might not be able to comply with requirements of your trading partners.

  4. Does the integration product integrate locally hosted applications? Can it also integrate remotely hosted applications?
  5. Does the integration product also cater for additional business needs such as EDI and reporting? If it doesn’t, you may find yourself needing to spend more on additional products.
  6. Does the integration product require additional investment in hardware or technology? If it does, watch those investment costs go up and up and up.
  7. Does the technology provider have a strong working relationship with software providers across the region? If it doesn’t, you may find yourself facing considerable delays in testing and implementing the service.
  8. Does the integration product provide best practice logging and reporting capabilities?
  9. Does the integration product have the capability to function in a real time or event based processing capacity?
