Boosting Efficiency with Self-Service

Written by Pierre Dahlman | Nov 28, 2023 3:28:01 PM

The increase in apps and platforms in an integration landscape has made tasks easier to complete. Access to information has skyrocketed, making complex jobs doable for almost anyone in an organization. However, not everyone gets the same support. While some tasks flow smoothly, many hit roadblocks when seeking help for more complex stuff.

Relying solely on IT for data consolidation creates bottlenecks. This means people make decisions based on only a fraction of data, slowing project progression due to the need for more accurate data. A single wrong move could cost millions and cause long-lasting problems. That's where self-service solutions like Starlify come in.

It aims to prevent errors, speed up innovation, and elevate developer productivity and experience. Self-service integration solutions are projected to be tailored to enable developers to resolve issues independently, freeing up IT to handle more extensive projects and thereby optimizing productivity and curtailing expenses. All while maintaining a healthy level of governance for the self-service solution. 

 

Why should modern organizations go for a self-service integration solution?

  1. Better Decision-making with Accessible Data: By turning developers into integrators, IT gives everyone the necessary information to make smart choices. There is no need for special skills—data becomes available to all.
  2. Boosting Employee Efficiency: On average, employees spend months getting and organizing data, causing millions of dollars in lost productivity. With a self-service solution, they skip the wait and grab the data they need faster.
  3. Improving Overall Results: Empowering developers to access decision-critical information quickly boosts their experiences and optimizes customer satisfaction. It's a win-win. Organizations that act on insights get ahead in the game.

The IT departments must become the enabler. A self-service mindset with a solution like Starlify can accelerate your integration projects by a factor of ten, resulting in up to 30% technology reuse and 70% service reuse within the organization's integrations landscape.
