No matter how large or small, today’s business runs on data. Information is captured and stored in various locations, tracking payments, inventory, supply-chain transactions, customer orders, marketing lists, business analytics, and more. To increase business efficiencies and better understand operations, that data must be shared and analyzed.

The challenge is that different applications use different data formats. NE2NE is committed to simplifying data sharing and eliminate the problem of programming multiple data integration channels. Founded in Cleveland in 2022, NE2NE specializes in delivering innovating Integration Platform as a Service (IPaaS) solutions tailored to small- to mid-sized businesses (SMBs). NE2NE’s P Suite offers no-code integration simplicity and scalability and no vendor lock-in, enabling any type of data exchange.

Simplifying Data Integration

Integrating data across disparate platforms is one of today’s business’s biggest operational hurdles. Organizations need data to flow between applications seamlessly.

IPaaS solutions have emerged to help SMBs deal with data integration. The concept is that IPaaS can connect applications, translate data, and automate workflows without custom coding. However, each app-to-app integration is unique, which makes scaling and automating workflows difficult. Most businesses seek EDI, ETL, or API integration solutions, but most vendors only offer support for one format, such as EDI.

Now, with the release of P Suite, NE2NE solves the problem by providing a single IPaaS solution that can integrate “any to any,” enabling simplified, automated workflows without the need for coding expertise.

What SMBs Need from Systems Integration

Today’s businesses also need more than point-to-point integration tools to streamline and automate operations. However, creating multiple custom integrations incurs added costs, complexity, and delays. What SMBs need is an easy-to-use approach to integrate and exchange multiple data types at scale. They need an IPaaS platform that can simplify data mapping and consolidate integration management.

NE2NE is addressing the integration needs of SMBs with an intuitive, self-service IPaaS platform that can handle all of a company’s integration needs in a single platform. Rather than developing individual connectors, NE2NE supports any type of integration for scalable data exchange using a simple drag-and-drop interface.

Adding applications and alliances presents additional integration challenges. New applications, suppliers, customers, and business partners require more data sharing and new integration channels. Data exchange requirements change with shifting standards, industry regulations, and operational demands, making IPaaS even more attractive for added security and regulatory compliance.

Standardizing on a common integration platform like NE2NE offers SMBs several advantages:

• Cost reduction by eliminating the need for custom coding.
• Greater efficiencies by centralizing and automating workflows.
• Scalability and the ability to add new integration to meet changing business needs.
• Simplified management of complex application ecosystems.

Common Integration Use Cases for SMBs

It’s easy to understand how SMBs would benefit from a universal integration platform. An extensible IPaaS solution makes it easy to centralize and automate data integration for different business needs.

Here are just some of the most common types of data integration use cases:

• CRM and ERP integration – Synching customer relationship management (CRM) platforms like Salesforce or HubSpot with enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems like SAP or NetSuite (News - Alert) makes unifying customer records with backend data easy.
• Marketing automation – Integrating CRM data with marketing campaign tools enables real-time engagement.
• E-commerce integration – Exchanging data from different systems helps automate inventory, order processing, and payments.
• Workflow automation – Integrating data streamlines onboarding, order fulfillment, and inventory processing.
• API management – With a unified IPaaS platform, it’s easy to build and manage APIs that connect to internal and external systems.
• B2B data exchange – Data integration facilitates EDI (electronic data interchange) transactions with business partners, vendors, and customers.
• Analytics – Using a common integration platform to merge data from multiple sources provides a comprehensive, real-time view of the business.

The NE2NE P Suite

To solve the integration dilemma, NE2NE has developed the P Suite Platform, a simple-to-use solution for building any integration. NE2NE’s P Suite offers a drag-and-drop workflow tool that enables users to link “Nodes” from one application to other “Nodes” to build workflows. Since the P Suite Platform is a self-service mapping tool, it puts data workflows into the hands of company managers. – no coding required.

The P Suite also includes out-of-the-box automation and logging functionality to provide complete visibility into workflows. Support for SFTP, API, and AS2 also ensures secure data exchange.

Another chronic issue for any business with digital records is extracting data from PDF files, especially complex PDF formats like accounting records. Most companies convert PDF files using manual data entry. The NE2NE P Suite PDFFlex solves the problem with a reliable PDF Data Extraction Tool that replaces manual data processes with a highly accurate automated system.

 PDFFlex uses artificial intelligence (AI) to query and extract data from the most difficult PDFs and return it in a usable format, such as extracting financial or payroll data to an Excel spreadsheet, XML, or JSON.  PDFFlex also validates the extracted data for errors and inconsistencies and sends alerts to request human remediation.

Empowering Managers with Data Integration

Perhaps NE2NE’s greatest advancement is taking data integration out of the hands of developers and putting it into the control of business managers. Creating a drag-and-drop integration platform breaks down data and operational silos and makes data access available to decision-makers, which helps business leaders access the data they need to drive change.

NE2NE’s P Suite simplifies data integration, converting data faster and more accurately. It also gives managers access to the vital data they need to make smarter business decisions and confidently build their business.
