The SMB Market
Cloud solutions are transforming how small businesses use technology. Small businesses typically don’t have time or budget for IT development projects. The value of cloud / SaaS solutions is elimination of capital expense (no hardware to buy) and instant availability (sign up and get going), so there isn’t a big IT barrier to overcome.
As businesses adopt cloud point solutions, benefits are realized in each silo (e.g. CRM, invoicing, email marketing, accounting), but now there is a new challenge – how can these individual systems be made to work together?
Most cloud companies have great stories about how their APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) and web services make it easy to integrate with other applications. The problem (from a small business perspective) is that these are great developer stories. For many small businesses, even the most elegant API isn’t useful because the skills to use it aren’t available in-house. After all, think about what is necessary to build even a simple integration between two cloud systems:
- Knowledge of and ability to work in a standard programming environment (e.g. PHP, Java)
- Knowledge of the API style for each system (e.g. Rest, SOAP)
- Design of the integration behavior – what data flows where, is there some sophisticated or multi-step negotiation between the systems, what logic is necessary
- Integration code needs to be built somewhere and deployed somewhere. Will the business run this internally or use a cloud hosting provider? Will there be a registered domain for this? Once the deployment strategy is determined, it needs to be implemented and managed on an ongoing basis.
itDuzzit eliminates all of this effort (and cost) by providing pre-built integration solutions for small businesses. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, please contact us and we’ll be happy to provide assistance.

SaaS Companies
As a provider of SaaS solutions, you’ve probably already released web service APIs. While APIs provide a great foundation for developers and integrators, they aren’t end solutions that your customers can use directly. itDuzzit can take the next step – by wrapping your APIs and providing pre-built integration solutions, itDuzzit can help expose your APIs to a wider audience.
We’re happy to create connections and solutions for SaaS companies. Many of our connectors and solutions have been added at the request of and in collaboration with SaaS companies. If you’d us to create itDuzzit connectors and solutions for your SaaS offering, please contact us.
