The Five Questions Your Integration Sales Rep. Doesn't Want You to Ask                                   

Thursday, May 22, 2008 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EDT                                                           

Among IT professionals, the concept of integration software has developed a spotty reputation over the years for good reason. Solutions labeled "integration" have been sold to companies who didn't have a good idea of what they wanted to achieve nor what they could reasonably expect from the solution.

In this Webinar, Chris Smith, MC Press Senior News Editor, and Mark Denchy, Director, Product Management for EXTOL International, will discuss the issues an integration sales rep. may not want you to ask: Do you really need to buy the entire package? Do you actually only need part of it? How long will the cadre of outside consultants be camped out at your offices? What is the probability they will hit their deadlines? How much of your resources will get tied up in implementation?

You will learn how to assess your own organization's individual integration needs and how to evaluate today's widely varying integration solutions--including the difference between a "strategic" and a "tactical" integration. You will learn where to draw the line in defining an integration project to avoid committing to a broader solution than you really need. Finally, you will understand how to accurately estimate the deployment cycle of an integration implementation.

Join Chris Smith and Mark Denchy for this revealing and informative look at the list of things not normally discussed by integration solution providers.
