What do we need to know about your business and systems at the start?

Typical questions from the OxFlow team include:

  • Do you already have a middleware or integration tool (e.g.: Boomi, Workato, Informatica, Mulesoft, Zapier, Jitterbit, etc)?
  • Which systems will be involved in automation? (e.g.: Salesforce, NetSuite, Blackbaud products, Oracle, DonorPerfect, etc).
  • What kinds of data you are looking to work with (e.g.: Companies, People, Product, Orders, Moves-Management, etc)
  • Do you already have a “Data Mart”?
  • Have you established “rules” for things like:
    • Primary keying across systems (e.g.: email address)
    • Survival – which system wins with automated updates?
  • Do you have an internal “Data Team” already?
