In software delivery, it’s natural for practitioners to prefer using the applications that best suit their speciality. However, the ever-expanding number of applications used in large enterprises is creating an infrastructure nightmare. To accommodate everyone's preferences, organizations must cobble together custom integrations and automations to allow data to flow between tools. But this practice is costly and inefficient. A 2022 report by Mulesoft and Deloitte revealed that enterprises spend an average $3.6 million a year on labor just to enable these custom integrations; on average, though, they only manage to integrate 28% of their tools. When software delivery toolchains are this diverse, unwieldy and complex, switching to an out-of-the-box integration solution can save millions of dollars and free up practitioners to focus on delivering value.

During this webinar, Jeff McCollum, senior director of product development, and Wendy Flowers, senior value stream architect, Planview (formerly Tasktop), discuss the must-have integration capabilities your organization needs to measure and communicate a return on your investment.

Attendees will learn:
  • Which capabilities to look for in an integration solution
  • How to measure the ROI of an integration solution
  • How to maximize the ROI of an integration solution by using model-based integration
  • How to communicate the value to internal stakeholders
