 The integration that broke me - how not to integrate a third-party vendor


What happens when you realize, months after launching a major integration, that it was the wrong call?

In this talk, I share painful (but valuable) lessons from choosing and integrating a third-party vendor that didn’t quite fit. What started as a shortcut became a costly detour, eventually leading us to rebuild everything internally under impossible timelines.

You'll hear why product must lead the process, how to assess vendor fit beyond surface-level promises, and why you should always run a hands-on POC before signing anything.

You'll also learn when not to go with a third-party vendor, and why building in-house can sometimes be the better bet. If you're debating "buy vs. build" - this talk is for you!

    Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!

    Hiya! I know this is kinda off topic nevertheless I'd figured I'd ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing a blog article or vice-versa? My blog goes over a lot of the same subjects as yours and I think we could greatly benefit from each other. If you are interested feel free to shoot me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you! Fantastic blog by the way!

    Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
