No Code Needed: Using Apttus and Workato for Seamless Quote-to-Cash

July 30, 2020

Need to Integrate Apttus with your other apps? Apttus and Workato have a lot in common, especially the clicks-not-code mentality. So, while Apttus takes care of increasing sales productivity and making the Quote-to-Cash process easy, let Workato do the heavy lifting between Apttus and CRM applications like Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, Oracle E-Business Suite, and SAP as well as ERP applications like NetSuite, Intacct, Oracle E-Business Suite and SAP.

Integrating Apttus with CRM and ERP systems doesn’t need to involve custom code, and there’s really no benefit to taking the time and resources to build something like this from scratch.

Workato vs. Custom Code vs. Legacy Integration Platforms

Custom code is time consuming, difficult to modify, and can take longer to implement. Luckily, you don’t need to create custom code to comprehensively connect Apttus to your CRM, finance apps or any other cloud or on-premise app on the market. Legacy integration platforms might come to mind next. Though legacy integration platforms can provide you with enterprise integration capabilities, they are very costly and fall short in providing a platform that is powerful yet easy to use.

No compromise necessary – Workato gives you both speed and power at a fraction of the cost.

Workato was named a leader in Forrester Wave iPaaS in 2016 ahead of the legacy players like Jitterbit, Snaplogic, and IBM.

They also rated Workato as:

#1 in Platform Power

#1 in Strategy

#1 in Low Cost
