Welcome to Inogic Professional Services – Series #3
In this series, we’ve explored how Microsoft’s integrated technologies, such as Power Platform, and Dynamics 365 revolutionize business operations.
We began by examining how these tools can drive innovation with their low-code/no-code capabilities and then delved into strategies for business transformation through app building and modernization.
Today, we’re turning our attention to Extended LOB Systems —a critical aspect that’s often overlooked in business strategy discussions. However, with the rise of digital transformation, extending Line-of-Business (LOB) systems has become a priority for organizations aiming to scale and streamline operations.
What Are Extended LOB Systems?
Extended LOB systems integrate with an organization’s existing software to enhance core capabilities, utilizing Microsoft’s extensible technology stack. By extending LOB systems, businesses can efficiently manage processes like CRM, supply chain, and financial management while leveraging Microsoft’s ecosystem.
This matters because 40% of organizations report a 25% productivity boost after extending their LOB systems.
These systems enable real-time data exchange, minimize manual data entry, and improve accuracy, which is crucial for informed decision-making and reducing costly errors.
How Can Microsoft’s Technology Help?
Customers often look to extend their LOB systems using Microsoft’s suite of business apps, allowing seamless integration and automation. Think of it like a layered Penne pasta, divided into three essential parts:
- Custom Web and Application Development (Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Pages)
- Rapid App Development
- Build Custom Connectors
- Serve as Middleware Across Systems
- Automation, Integration, and Data Management (Power BI, Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse)
- Scripting and Automation
- Automate Repetitive Tasks
- ETL processes and Visualize Data
- Custom Reporting and Analytics
- Powerful Reporting and Analytics
- Scale and Integrate LOB Systems
- Enhancing Functionality and User Experience (Power Apps, Power Pages)
- Create Custom Components & Plugins
- Develop Modern UI/UX
The Impact of Extending LOB Systems
The benefits of extending LOB systems are both quantifiable and strategic:
- 25%-time savings per employee.
- Reduced manual workarounds by addressing LOB gaps.
- Unlocked siloed data, improving decision-making and user experience.
- Maximized investment by extending the life of existing systems through modernization.
Extensible Technology Architecture
At the heart of this transformation is Microsoft’s extensible architecture, which offers unparalleled flexibility, allowing organizations to adapt, grow, and innovate without disrupting their core systems. The result?
A future-proof solution that scales with your business.
