IT Pros Show the Value of Ecosystem Integration in 2020 Survey

2020 Ecosystem Report

The urgency is real.

Business and IT decision-makers across logistics, wholesale, and manufacturing industries are feeling greater urgency to adopt newer, simpler integration alternatives as underperforming B2B/EDI, application, and data integration solutions are proving increasingly costly, both in terms of revenue and productivity.

That's why today's modern companies view the promise of ecosystem integration as a true strategic value driver for modern enterprises. Cleo's 2020 State of Ecosystem and Application Integration Report stems from a survey completed in October 2019. It is designed to reflect the collective opinion from business and IT decision-makers that represent multiple industries and job functions within companies of different sizes.

Here are some of the biggest takeaways from the report:

30% of respondents estimate they lose between $100,000 and $1 million per year as a result of integration-related issues, including data errors, technology impediments, or SLA violations

64% say they will upgrade their solutions in the next year

57% plan to migrate integration capabilities to the cloud in the next year

82% confirm that automating integration is either important or very important, and 60% say it is the greatest value driver for their business ecosystem

Those are just a handful of valuable data that resides within this report. This is the type of direct information from customers that helps enterprises make better purchasing decisions and shows why a modernized integration platform is so beneficial for success.
