Mailerlite Integration can be labeled as critical assets for any organization as they incorporate key knowledge about the institution over their lifetime. Hence the companies spend quite a significant fortune in employing correct software to run their business. These software systems should run efficiently for some considerable number of years in order to get some benefits as return on that investment. Any failure in these systems would have a severe impact on the day-to-day activities of business.

Disparate Legacy Systems

According to Dash, National Sales Head (India) of Ramco ERP solutions, disparate legacy systems are systems that perform data processing as usually individual systems without having any interaction or data exchange with other similar systems. Hence each system will have a separate unique database. These systems are not integrate. Therefore there is always inconsistency in data entry like integrity issues and duplication of data.

• The non-integrated applications using different languages and technologies, residing on different platforms result in isolated functionality and multiple instances of the same data.
• Lack of application integration leads to redundant activities, inefficient response to customers and greater cost expenditures.
• ·Non-integrated legacy systems usually run on obsolete hardware systems which are slow and expensive to maintain.
• Documentation and understanding of legacy system details are often absent and tracing faults would lead to time consumption and needless expense.
• Difficultness in extending and lack of clean interfaces in legacy systems make it tough to integrate with other systems.
