Case Study– B2B Vendor Integration
• SFDC– Accounts, Product and Order history
• MS GreatPlains– Campaign Information
• Disparate Vendor Applications– Database Vendors
– Data Processing Vendors
– Production Vendors
• Over 20 end-points in total
Case Study – Business Problems Identified
• Complex Orders, High Volumes– Customers requiring thousands of
direct mail campaigns per month
– Database, vendors and many moving parts needed to successfully execute
• High risk of exceeding project deadlines– Data entered manually into
separate systems
– Limited vendor progress visibility
• Many database, data-processing and production vendors to deal with
• High expectations, limited IT resources

2008 Economy Changes Things
After Phase I, we were well prepared– Achieved significant efficiency gains
– Much better cost controls
– However, some client-specific information still maintained on
TABS Mainframe (Address & Signature)
TABS’ business was changing– No longer data processing
– Mainframe was being phased out
2008 Challenges – Phase II
Pressures
– Data Processing
– More Customization
– Lower Costs
Two Major Initiatives
– Cloud-Based Resources
• Data Processing
• Donor Management
– Greater Efficiencies
• Variable Text
• Huge Data Increase
