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!

Hi, I think your site might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your website in Firefox, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, terrific blog!

Thanks for your write-up. I also believe that laptop computers have become more and more popular nowadays, and now are sometimes the only kind of computer employed in a household. The reason being at the same time they are becoming more and more very affordable, their working power keeps growing to the point where they are as robust as desktop through just a few years back.
