September 27, 2018 / by Peter MacIntyre
When it comes to data, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
In silos, data exists as an incomplete picture.
You make data actionable when you bring it together to create context. Suddenly, patterns emerge. Important business insights come to light. You can now make more accurate, data-driven decisions.
Integration brings data together by creating a “team” of technology. When your financial and operational systems are aligned with unified data, you have the key to unlocking financial insights.
DataBlend gives you the complete financial picture with Sage Intacct that contributes to better financial management. With DataBlend now available on the Sage Intacct Marketplace, even more Sage Intacct users will have access to DataBlend’s unique capabilities, including seamless Adaptive Insights and Sage Intacct Integration.
Peter MacIntyre, Director of DataBlend at Carlson, shares how DataBlend’s integration and automation capability for Sage Intacct elevates the accounting function:
“DataBlend is a great tool for integrations with Sage Intacct. Not only is it easy to extract data out of Sage Intacct using the intuitive Query Builder, but it provides capabilities to write into Sage Intacct as well. This is important for many of our clients, as they need the ability to get their General Ledger data into other systems, but also want to be able create invoices or import budget data into Sage Intacct. The bi-directional integration capabilities really make DataBlend a unique platform.”
