Due to the increase in the use of automated software like Tally, there has been an increase in the need for integrated data. To suffice this need, Tally provides Tally to Tally easy exchange of data either through data synchronization or through data export and import. One can easily export data from one Tally software and import it in another Tally software. This allows smooth migration of data from one Tally to another.
But some businesses use multiple software to support different functions of a business such as Marketing, IT, Finance, etc. To maintain the integrity of data, the multiple software needs to have correct data. To have integrated data, you may have to manually copy the data and then enter it again in the other software which will be time-consuming and again a human dependent process.
