Your Journey to Systems Integration

For our last “Meet the Speaker” interview, we feature an interview with Gary Scrofani of CompIntelligence, who will lead the session “Your Journey to Systems Integration” at the 21st Annual NASPP Conference. Here is what Gary had to say:

NASPP: Why is systems integration a particularly timely topic right now and how does your panel plan on addressing it?

Gary: In today’s world of data we all need information now. With different systems such as HR, Payroll, Stock Administration, etc. it is more imperative that these systems communicate with each other. Our session will address real life experiences with integrating multiple systems thereby eliminating the need for manual entry and allowing the data to be accessible exactly when needed.

NASPP: What actions should companies take when preparing to integrate systems?

Gary: System integration is not a simple task. It takes time and expertise. Talk with people and companies who have done this to learn what your focus should be and what pitfalls to avoid.

NASPP: What is the silver lining to systems integration?

Gary: Once the integration and automation is complete, you’ll now have time to focus on your core business and responsibilities. You’ll have a high comfort level know the data is up to date and accurate.

NASPP: Tell us three things people don’t know about you.

Gary:

  1. I am a new Grandfather.
  2. I am a Police Commissioner in my town.
  3. My college degree is in electrical engineering–nothing to do with this industry.
