What is software integration?
Integration means bringing together two software programs to connect separate data.
Integrating different software solutions is a common challenge for companies today. Most applications do not work well together. This creates small islands of data. As a result, important information can be lost. Insights are not shared between teams, and tasks take longer to finish.
If all your data were connected, things would run more smoothly. To connect these data islands, you need to answer the following questions: questions in the next section.
Software Integration Overview
Software integration is a broad term. There are many types of integrations available. When considering integration, it is important to consider:
1. What type of software will you integrate?
It can be software made in-house or a third-party business application, like SaaS.
2. Which integration software do you need?
If you use in-house software, you will need a special solution. Check if there is enterprise integration software that fits your needs. You may need help from a team of engineers.
If you work with business applications that share their API, you can use native integrations or an iPaaS.
There are many iPaaS options available. Most of them offer one-way or two-way syncs. You will likely need a native integration that supports all the apps you use.
3. Which part of your data needs integration?
You likely don’t need to combine every part of your databases. There should be a clear reason for it. Don’t mix apples with oranges.
With some preparation, software integration can be easy. First, identify your business's specific needs and available options. In the end, integration will connect your applications and your team.
Our Best Practices When Integration Software
1. Clearly define the objective.
Before you sync anything, define your goal clearly. What do you want to achieve with this integration? This will help you focus on what matters most. It will also ensure that your integration aligns with your business strategies.
2. Select the right tools.
Like any job, having the right tools can greatly affect your success. Choose integration tools that are scalable and flexible. Make sure they are easy to use and well-documented. Look for tools that offer hands-on support.
3. Create a detailed map of the integration.
If you are building your integration in-house, write a detailed plan. This plan should include integration scenarios, user flows, and data mapping. Rushing into the building process can create avoidable roadblocks. You don’t want to risk your company’s data by setting up an integration you don’t fully understand.
4. Define data ownership.
Data ownership can be a sensitive topic for many people in your business. Data ownership can be a sensitive issue for many in your business. It’s important to be proactive. Clearly identify who is responsible for data security, privacy, and compliance. Do this before you begin your integration.
Make sure your integration follows best practices for data sharing, protection, and management. This will help you keep your data safe over time.
5. Monitor the integration.
By regularly checking your integration, you can find and fix any problems that come up. You should audit your integration often to make sure it works well. This way, you can make changes to keep it effective.

Neil, Debra and their team has been doing my companies accounting for some time now after taking on tasks which most accounting firms will just ignore and not care about. Going more then the extra mile, contacting suppliers to correct invoices, disputing problems with SARS etc. and they do this with such professionalism, candor and a spirit of excellence to produce real results. I must thank you guys for taking me and my college on, I have a great sense of assurance and peace of mind that our companies tax affairs will now be handled as it should have been from the start, so thanks guys for your great service, this is rare these days...

Debra is one angel sent to help people in Zeelie team.. I’m a newbie’s to computer and she made sure to help me through on phone! Debra thank you very much 👌💯
Wow, I knew very little about tax and where to even begin as a young contractor. Neil and his team really made me feel so welcome and safe. Neil spoke on the phone with me for 2 hours explaining everything from scratch before I even signed on. So easy and so time effective I couldn't recommend them more.
Great service with efficient communication, and helpful, friendly staff.

Zeelie Professional Accountants has really taken the stress out of filing my annual tax return with SARS. The Tax Practitioners at ZPA are very professional and they’ve offered me sound advice on my tax matters. I would certainly recommend ZPA to anyone needing the services of a tax practitioner.
Always helpful and get the job done with friendly and professional staff.
Having a business does become sophisticated as a result of new technology, therefore finding an accounting company like Zeelie Professional Accountants SA was important to help support my financial interest and to keep my business up to date with SARS compliance. Finding a company like Zeelie was personally very satisfying. They understood my concerns from word go and I certainly appreciate the professional guidance from Neil (Company Owner). I'd like to compliment their account manager, Vanessa Viola for the excellent work she has provided me since I joined the Zeelie family. Vanessa has gone the ''extra mile'' helping me to sort out specific issues and making me understand the situations at hand. Within a few days she was able to verify my situation and start the process of resolving them. Such a commitment to ''great customer service'' is to be commended. I will continue to do business with Zeelie Professional Accountants for years to come. Thank you Zeelie for supporting my business interest.
Compliments to the team at Zeelie. we have had a massive ordeal with SARS. a VAT refund that has taken almost a year to conclude. it involved multiple resubmission's, complaints to SAIT, Ombudsman, our account falling into arrears and so forth. Zeelie continued to assist us until we finally received our refund. thanks for the support!

Excellent, efficient and fast service from Debbie. I might add that she was also patient and helpful when I was unsure of doing things online. I am very happy with the service I received.
Zeelie has been an amazing help in getting my tax done easily, quickly and fairly. My assigned accountant, Janet Carse, has always been prompt in getting things done as well as clear and thorough in answering my questions. The entire process has been less stressful and confusing than I thought it'd be, especially considering I work as a contractor, so my tax returns have a different process to traditionally employed folks. I'm really grateful for having found them and am satisfied with their services thus far. Thanks, Zeelie.

What a big asset for Zeelie professionals to have her...
Zeelie Accountants South Africa is a by far the most advanced, innovative and economical accounting company in the country if not the EMEA region. From an economic point of view, (without exaggeration) their costs in my experience are 200% more economical than the lowest costs I've paid for accounting services in our companies history. From a service point of view, our Zeelie Account Executive "Janet Carse" embodies the true definition of customer experience. Through her availability and quality of service, she drives service delivery with sound accounting principles and excellence. She is an absolute pleasure to work it. It's almost hard to imagine how Neil has manage to combine the best of service with the lowest of costs. This company is an industry game changer, which is led by a visionary leader. As a customer I'm here to stay, but as a businessman, "watch this space" Zeelie Accounting is breaking new ground and changing the game.
I used ZPA for my provisional tax and received prompt, professional service.
I would use them again and highly recommend their services.
We are still finalizing the finer details, so far so good.
Professional, efficient, superb guidance and advice given. Loedolff Property Maintenance could not have made a better decision than to appoint Zeelie Professional Accountants. They have assisted us through every step of the way and we will gladly continue working with them for many years to come. Zeelie Professional Accountants also assists with my individual tax matters which has helped me tremendously.
We have been in operation for 2 years and was not getting the services from our then accountants. We moved to Zeelie Professional Accountants SA and within the first week we saved 15% on our tax bill, we got registered for VAT in the first month and thus vastly improving cash flow by being able to claim by R60k! They are currently reviewing and overhauling our entire organisation to ensure compliance and best practise; but also saving us money by providing expert advise! We will be moving the entire group over to Zeelie Professional Accountants SA!
