Don’t let disconnected systems jeopardize your business, get an integrated and protected data system with Dynamics 365 Business Central.
The amount of data that most companies deal with on a daily basis has grown exponentially in recent years. As a result, businesses rely on various systems to manage their operations, collect and store data, and facilitate communication. But having a separate, independent system for each task is not only incredibly inefficient, it can also leave your organization open to potential security risks.
The Risks of Using Disconnected Systems
Using disconnected systems that do not seamlessly integrate or share data the way that connected systems do can lead to fragmented information, reduced productivity, increased human error, and greater vulnerability.
Bad Data Leads to Bad Decisions
Disconnected systems hinder your company’s ability to gain a unified and comprehensive view of your business operations. Important insights and trends that could drive strategic, data-driven decision-making can become obscured or difficult to understand due to the fragmentation of data across multiple platforms. This lack of coherent visibility and centralized control can become a serious problem, impeding your organization’s ability to optimize processes, identify growth opportunities, and adapt to market changes.
Repeated Tasks and Human Error
Without seamless integration and data sharing, employees are burdened with the time-consuming task of manually entering and transcribing data between systems. This not only hampers productivity but also increases the likelihood of human error, as manual data entry is prone to mistakes and inconsistencies. While these errors may be small, they can have a cascading effect as they accumulate, impacting decision-making, customer satisfaction, and overall operational effectiveness.
More Complex Security Needs Lead to Greater Vulnerability
The use of disconnected systems heightens the vulnerability of your business by increasing the necessary complexity of your security measures and makes your organization more susceptible to cyber threats. Those looking to implement cyber attacks often exploit the gaps between disconnected systems to access sensitive information. Protecting each individual system separately becomes a complex and resource-intensive task, leaving your business exposed to potential breaches that can damage your company’s reputation.
