Choosing Which Tools to Integrate First
When you can integrate almost anything, the hard part is deciding where to start. Sequencing the work well means you feel the benefits sooner and spread the cost sensibly, rather than trying to connect everything at once.
This article offers a simple way to prioritise your integrations around real business value.
How to Prioritise
The best first integrations combine high value with manageable effort.
- The biggest sources of repetitive manual work.
- The connections that reduce costly errors.
- Tools your team uses every single day.
- Quick wins that build confidence and momentum.
A Sensible Order
We usually recommend a staged plan rather than a big bang.
- Start with one high-value, lower-risk integration.
- Prove the benefit and learn from the first build.
- Tackle the next priority once the first is stable.
- Keep a backlog and review it as needs change.
