Hanson Wade Found ROI with iPaaS from Jitterbit

Endpoints: Salesforce Sales Cloud, EventsCase, MS Exchange Online

Our dedicated engineer from professional services was always fast to respond. I was also pleasantly surprised by standard support team when they’ve quickly replied to my urgent requests, even if it was after working hours.

Background

Hanson Wade brings together people through business conferences and other community contact. The firm is headquartered in London and works worldwide. Conferences are held in major global cities across North America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and South America. Among Hanson Wade’s many events, it brings together world leading experts who are delivering brand new medical treatments, who are working to overcome life threatening global security risks and who are cutting through emerging business challenges.

Challenge

We have previously used 2 other middleware platforms which have served us well in doing smaller integration workflows between Salesforce and our chat communication platform. However, we started facing limitations when we needed to scale the capabilities of these platforms to build more complex integrations. They didn’t prove to be robust enough to allow us building the logic needed to map our internal processes which we wanted to automate. Jitterbit was able to fulfil these requirements offering an enterprise environment to work with.

Before

  • Data caught in information silos
  • Manual mistake-prone entry of data
  • Restricted visibility over registration data & touchpoints
  • Delayed financial reporting
  • Not scalable

After

  • Salesforce integrated into events and notifications systems
  • Streamlined booking process reduces costs and errors
  • Accurate and reliable data
  • Real-time visibility into conference registration numbers
  • A conference booking system that can adapt to business demand

We have not run an analysis on the savings yet, however it is evident that the ROI is positive and transferring data in real time between the two platforms is a big-time saver in terms of manual work as well as accuracy. Moreover, putting it in a long-term perspective we can see the opportunity for scaling up our business in a more cost-effective way.

Outcome

We did work with the professional services team who were helpful and delivered an onsite training. I was also presently surprised by standard support team when they’ve quickly replied to my urgent requests, even if it was after working hours. For this implementation we used Jitterbit Studio, the offline application, and while it’s normal to have a steeper learning curve with any complex system, I must say Jitterbit Studio fell into that bracket too from a user experience perspective. However, our dedicated engineer from professional services was always fast to respond and help us navigate and understand it. On the flip side, the new Cloud Studio promises a lot more in terms of user interface and I am keen to use it with my next project.
