1 Assess your needs and goals

Before you start integrating your FMS with other systems, you need to identify your needs and goals. What are the main pain points and challenges that you want to solve with the integration? What are the expected benefits and outcomes? How will you measure the success of the integration? By answering these questions, you can define the scope, priorities, and requirements of the integration project.

Good to also agree on the basis to quantify the benefits. Integration does not always provide a reduction in jobs, it can provide a time saving allowing analysis, better supported decision making. Quantification of this requires review.

2 Choose the right integration method

There are different methods for integrating your FMS with other systems, such as point-to-point, hub-and-spoke, bus, and cloud. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages, depending on the complexity, scalability, security, and flexibility of the integration. You need to choose the right method for your specific situation, considering factors such as data volume, frequency, format, quality, and governance.

3 Involve the key stakeholders

Integrating your FMS with other systems is not a one-person job. You need to involve the key stakeholders from different departments and functions, such as finance, IT, sales, marketing, operations, and management. These stakeholders can provide valuable input, feedback, and support for the integration project. They can also help you align the integration with the business strategy, processes, and culture.

4 Test and validate the integration

Before you launch the integration, you need to test and validate it thoroughly. You need to ensure that the integration works as expected, without compromising the functionality, performance, or security of your FMS or other systems. You need to check for any errors, bugs, or inconsistencies in the data transfer, transformation, and synchronization. You also need to verify that the integration meets the compliance and regulatory standards.

5 Monitor and optimize the integration

After you launch the integration, you need to monitor and optimize it regularly. You need to track the performance, availability, and reliability of the integration, using metrics and tools such as dashboards, alerts, and logs. You also need to identify and resolve any issues or problems that may arise during the integration, such as data quality, security, or compatibility. You also need to update and improve the integration as your business needs and goals change.

6 Train and educate the users

The last but not least best practice for integrating your FMS with other systems is to train and educate the users. You need to ensure that the users understand the benefits and features of the integration, as well as the roles and responsibilities they have in using and maintaining it. You need to provide them with clear and concise documentation, tutorials, and support. You also need to solicit and act on their feedback and suggestions for enhancing the integration.

Train and educate but also require accountability. You can train and educate all day, but if employees are not held accountable to use the software, all of the training will be in vain. It's hard to imagine, but some organizations spend millions of dollars on systems and then don't consistently hold teams accountable to use the systems they paid for.
