| ARRIS Connects with Above All Software Composite Application to Integrate salesforce.com and Legacy Forecasting System
The solution developed with the Above All Composite Application Platform mines information from the Applix TM1 sales forecasting and salesforce.com customer management systems and integrates them in real time. The new composite application provides the ARRIS sales team with a single interface to efficiently enter sales data that is ready to move from “opportunity” to “forecast.” Now ARRIS sales representatives enter data once within the intuitive and familiar salesforce.com user interface (UI), yet interact in real time with the forecasting system. ARRIS evaluated extract-transform-load (ETL) integration options, but favored a composite application strategy using Above All. With the Composite Application Platform, ARRIS does away with the reconciliation issues created by unnecessarily moving data across multiple systems. “We needed a more efficient way to update our sales forecasts rather than asking our sales reps to re-key high probability deals in both salesforce.com and TM1 -- nor did we want to spend weeks retraining our sales team on a brand new interface,” said ARRIS Senior Vice President of Sales Pete Wagener. “Above All enabled us to create the composite application to integrate these vastly different systems, and to deploy it within our CRM system.” “ARRIS is an innovator in the broadband network industry, and its composite application approach to integrating its sales forecast process mirrors that innovative thinking,” said Sanjay Sarathy, CEO of Above All Software. “By leveraging Above All for salesforce.com integration, ARRIS can seamlessly interact with other systems, without the overhead of moving data and risking uncontrolled redundancy.” About ARRIS ARRIS provides broadband local access networks with innovative systems for the delivery of voice, video and high-speed data to the home and business.
