Clients ask for integration, dashboards, reporting, and automation in one breath. Partners inherit the ambiguity, and the classification ends up happening by accident. Nothing breaks at kickoff. It degrades as scale increases, and six months later the BI team stops trusting the data.
We separate the two problems and give you language for the next client conversation. Architecture first, not tool first.
→ Telling an integration request from a replication request, early
→ What each pattern is built for, and how it fails when used as the other
→ Separating the layers so they carry different SLAs, cost models, and ownership
→ Productizing both sides, including the analytics budget that sits outside ERP and CRM
If you are mid-delivery and suspect the two already got mixed on your project, we addresses that near the end. It is the common case, not the rare one.
