Discover how FFT's experience with Sage Intacct's out-of-the-box integration with their Salesforce CRM has transformed their business operations in this captivating video snippet from our customer FFT's Sage Intacct case study!

“One of the big drivers behind moving to Intacct was being able to integrate it with our CRM system, Salesforce. We've been using Salesforce for a couple of years, and previously we were using Sage 200 and the two systems just were never connected. The fact that Salesforce seamlessly integrates with Intacct has been a huge thing for the whole company, not just the finance team.”​

Our Approach to Integrations


A crucial part of integration is understanding the objectives and defining what your business aims to achieve. We work closely with your team to assess business processes, workflows, and identify which software systems need to be integrated.
How We Work with Your Business

  • Assess the Integration Options - We begin by understanding your unique business environment, identifying the most suitable integration options
  • -
  • Map Out Integration Workflow - Once the options are defined, we create a detailed workflow that outlines how different systems will communicate with each other
  • -
  • Evaluate Time Management Savings - Time is money, and we help you evaluate how much time can be saved through automation
  • -
  • Define Flow Direction - A key decision in any integration is understanding how data will flow between systems
  • -
  • Understand Data Dependencies - Not all data is created equal. We help you identify which system will act as the “master” or controller in the integration process
  • -
  • Scope Use Case Scenarios - Consider all scenarios and process anomalies
Key Controls We Implement

  • Scheduling and Triggering - We ensure that data transfers occur at optimal times based on your business needs
  • -
  • Decision Steps - In complex workflows, decision steps allow the system to make logical choices based on set conditions
  • -
  • Validation and System Checks - Before data is transferred, it undergoes rigorous validation to ensure accuracy and integrity
  • -
  • Authorisations and Approvals - Certain processes may require approvals or authorisations at key stages to ensure compliance with business policies
  • -
  • Review and Reconciliation - After the data transfer, a review process ensures that all the expected data has been transferred correctly
  • -
  • Error Handling - In the event of an issue, robust error handling mechanisms come into play

The team here at itas will work with you using a range of skills and tools to create an integration that should fulfil your company’s needs and meet your business objectives.
