Product integration has become a key factor in the success of a product. For example: On Apple iOS devices, built-in iTunes and App Store own the music and software franchises. On Android devices, Gmail and Google search are tightly integrated. Similarly integrating software with another software has been seen as an added value.

At CI, we have been involved in several integration projects. We have done several 3rd party add-on integrations with QuickBooks. The two most important questions that we always consider in integration projects are:

  • Define how the 3rd party add-on accesses QuickBooks
  • Define how much information needs to be shared between add-on and QuickBooks

One of the projects we were involved in was integrating a business portal with QuickBooks. We considered the following functionalities in addition to the main functionality of the business portal:

  • Real time two-way synchronization between QuickBooks and the portal
  • Features like user personalization, license management, user/data allowances
  • Secured SSL integration with timed login / lockout
  • Integration with payment gateways
