We weren't going to post today, but our boss (Bjorn) has strong opinions about two things: clean integrations and donuts.

Today, he has both on his mind.💕🍩

Whether it's glazed, chocolate, sprinkles, or jelly, let's make this fry-day a fun day. 😉

Go to the last slide to see how much we share Bjorn's love of dessert for breakfast! 👀

We analyzed 200+ DIY integration projects across Salesforce, HubSpot, Sage Intacct, and more. Here's what we kept seeing 👇

DIY integration can work for simple, one-way data flows. But the moment complexity enters the picture, it breaks down fast:
❌ Unplanned error handling
❌ Data consistency issues
❌ Mystery scripts nobody can maintain
❌ Scale problems that only show up at the worst time

One client came to us after their Salesforce-to-QuickBooks integration had been breaking monthly for two years. Their developer wasn't building anything, just patching.

The real question isn't DIY vs. pro services. It's where you want your team's energy to go.

Integration is essential plumbing, not a differentiator. Your team is more valuable building features customers love than debugging a 3 AM sync failure.
