The cost of the patchwork
What integrations quietly cost you.
Integration upkeep
Every connector is glue you build, monitor, and fix when an API changes.
Reconciliation tax
Data lives in many places, so someone spends their week making numbers agree.
License sprawl
A tool per team means overlapping seats, renewals, and admin no one owns.
