Recently on the blog, we talked about the widespread use of application programming interface (API) integration to interconnect cloud software applications. The context to this is that it’s all part of the API economy, an ecosystem of interconnected software platforms that exchange data securely.
This generates value for businesses and consumers and profits for some of the world’s biggest companies. Google, Expedia and Salesforce are three primary examples of companies riding a wave of connectivity and data exchange in a global market which is expected to generate $2.2 trillion in 2018.
However, it’s not just great big companies that are able to generate value for their clients and customers with APIs. ETZ is a player in the global recruitment industry. We use APIs to connect with key partners, accounting platform Xero and mobile rec platforms yu:talent and JobAdder.
However, these are not the only third-party software applications that we can integrate to form a holistic solution for your back office. ETZ provides supreme flexibility. Essentially, if a software platform has an API built to the latest compatible standards, ETZ can integrate it.
Over many years of working with our extensive portfolio of recruitment industry clients we have encountered just about every possible integration scenario you could imagine (and some which you couldn’t!). This means we’ve built considerable knowledge about bringing together all sorts of other software besides our Add-On Partners Xero, yu:talent and JobAdder.
When it comes to technologies in use, business process and the end-to-end workflow, no two recruitment agencies are exactly alike. Some have favoured applications already in use that they don’t want to lose. Others may have ‘legacy’ applications which they can’t lose and have to be incorporated as part of an integrated solution.
With ETZ, recruitment businesses automate processing, eliminating time-consuming manual tasks to reduce back office costs by up to 85%. This is not dependent on the Add-On Partners or any other third-party software we integrate into a solution.
This is the intrinsic value of integration. Whatever applications are linked together, it is the automated exchange of data and the performance of tasks that generates the cost savings.
