Integrating with TechnologyOne is Complex – Let Us Simplify It for You. Unlock Your S2P Data with Our TechnologyOne Integration Services

In today’s competitive landscape, businesses need comprehensive spend control and visibility. Achieving a single source of spend truth is a daunting task. There are a lot of moving pieces and disparate systems. If you are using TechnologyOne this can be a time consuming and expensive activity. Integrating your Source to Pay (S2P) platform with TechnologyOne isn’t easy. We often see significant challenges, resulting in:

  • Poor decision-making
  • Wasted time and resources
  • Reduced efficiency
  • Limited control over spending

If these issues sound familiar, you’re not alone. Integration across the board is a challenge for businesses. Research shows:

  • 1 in 3 leaders do not trust the information they use to make decisions. (source)
  • 97% of businesses admit to having unacceptable data, and 50% of new data is problematic. (source)
  • Only 29% of businesses platforms are currently integrated together. (source)
  • 94% of businesses think data integration is a challenge. (source)

Valtatech: Your TechnologyOne Integration Partner

We understand the complexities of integrating with TechnologyOne. Our Integration-as-a-Service (IaaS) does the hard work of integration for you. Connecting your TechnologyOne instance and other systems to your S2P platform. Our goal is to deliver a single source of spend truth. Enabling you to achieve complete control and visibility over your corporate spend.

Our integration experts have seen first-hand the challenges integrating with TechnologyOne. We’ve helped many businesses overcome challenges specific to the platform’s architecture. These challenges include:

Collating Data Across Modules

TechnologyOne’s modular design means that spend data is stored across different modules. You’ll have data in modules such as Financials, Procurement, Asset Management and Projects. Integrating data from these modules requires an understanding of TechnologyOne’s data structures. Without this you can end up with incomplete, missing or duplicated data in your S2P platform.

Navigating Complex Data Structures and Custom Tables

TechnologyOne allows extensive customisation, leading to highly specific data structures and custom tables. These can vary significantly between businesses and business divisions. For example, the Financials module may have customised account codes and transaction tables. Mapping and transforming this data to align with a S2P platform’s requirements is a complex task. You need specialised knowledge of both TechnologyOne’s database schema and the S2P database schema.

Achieving (near) Real-Time Data Synchronisation

A single source of spend truth is only effective if it’s an accurate reflection of what is happening. This requires real or near real-time data synchronisation. This can be a challenge with TechnologyOne, due to its batch processing capabilities. Some modules with spend data may not natively support real-time data flow. To address this you need a robust integration solution that can handle high transaction volumes.

Handling Workflows Customisations

TechnologyOne’s workflow engine allows organisations to create highly customised workflows. These workflows need to be aligned with the S2P platform’s processes and data structure. This requires not just technical knowledge but S2P expertise as well. The integration may also need custom configuration and coding which can be resource-intensive.

Maintaining Data Quality and Consistency

Maintaining data quality and consistency across integrated systems is a significant challenge. Particularly given the varied data formats and structures across TechnologyOne’s modules. Transforming data from modules like Asset Management and Project Management correctly is difficult. It involves validation and error-checking processes to prevent discrepancies​ in the S2P platform.

Keeping Data Secure and Compliant Security and Compliance

When integrating data from TechnologyOne, you are dealing with sensitive data. You need to ensure that systems adhere to stringent security and compliance requirements. The tools used to integrate the data need to have high levels of security in place to ensure data is protected.

These challenges highlight the complexity of integrating TechnologyOne with S2P platforms. Many in-house IT teams lack the specialised skills needed to manage this effectively. This can often lead to delays, higher costs and a solution that doesn’t meet business needs. This gap highlights the need for specialised expertise to manage these integrations effectively. That’s where we come in.
