Working in sectors like mining, oil and gas, telecommunications, or even healthcare, you have a lot to answer for. You need to keep track of every task, every communication, and every detail of each project or patient you take on.
There are so many compliance boxes to tick, so many touchpoints to be tracked, and in most of these sectors, a lot of data to be stored and analysed.
Many companies look at data integration as something that’s just “nice to have”. At VMICA, we believe data integration doesn’t just optimise how you work, it transforms how your company runs.
What is data integration?
Data integration is where we take data from different sources and combine them into one. To put it simply, we take the information you store across different softwares and platforms and combine them into one, single app. You have an accounting application to track client billing and staff payroll, you have project management software — possibly with different softwares across different teams, and you have an array of other softwares that support how you work.
These could be email or communication platforms, APIs, and other data-based platforms.
As your business grows, more and more of your staff are constantly switching between all of these different platforms to complete their tasks and responsibilities.
Data integration sees us build a new platform that combines these different softwares into one, easy to access dashboard.
Ensure all the data you need to be accessible, is.
It isn’t realistic to have team members heading to one app to ensure the client is up to date on billing, then jumping to a project management system to view their tasks, and then to another to complete the task or file the relevant data from that said task.
Data integration eliminates this. By combining these applications into one, we ensure all the data anyone needs to access at any given moment is accessible to them.
What we love about data integration is that it’s completely customisable. You can dictate which teams can access which datasets and platforms and you can add on robust compliance checklists or other functionalities you need to optimise your company.
Data integration drives efficiency & productivity
The time spent switching between different platforms, applications, or searching for the right document can be seconds to minutes. But think about what happens when it’s occurring 8-10 times a day — that might be 10 minutes (or a lot more) lost in a day.
Now, use that 10-minute average across all of your team members. If you employ roughly 200 employees, that’s almost a full-time week lost jumping between software.
Data integration speeds these processes up, it streamlines how your team submits and sources data. This drives efficiency and productivity, which directly translates to increased ROI for your company.
Ensure accuracy & compliance at every stage
Particularly in sectors like mining and healthcare, compliance is everything. There are so many internal and external processes involved in ensuring total compliance — whether with relevant safety requirements or with care regulations.
It means accurate reporting of almost every touchpoint through each process is absolutely essential. You need to keep records so you’re able to present exactly what each involved team member did at any moment.
Data integration is a really intelligent way to ensure accuracy in reporting and total compliance through each of your company or organisation’s operations.
Customised, mandatory checklists and management tools customised to your organisation’s processes and compliance requirements revolutionise how you and your team works.
Keep all teams across all projects & drive collaboration
Even the very best communicating team will be lost without the appropriate tools to manage how they work.
Rolling your different touch points into one allows each member of your team to see your projects at a glance and collaborate really simply and effectively. They can then store information, reports, or data in easy-to-access spots in your robust platform — driving collaboration further.
Data integration creates a really seamless experience for teams as they manage projects together.
