Integration is simply the exchange of data between software for better comprehension of the available data. Data plays a vital role in critical decision making. Every business with more than one source of data collection will reach a phase wherein it becomes unmanageable to manually derive reports or insights from data from different software. Also, in many business setups, there are sales partners or distributors in the case of a manufacturing company. In both the mentioned scenarios, having an integrating tool becomes vital for both internal data transfer as well as external data transfer from different vendors.
Today there are many business intelligence software available that make use of artificial intelligence to give business insights purely based on the data made available in the software. For such software to give a sharp insight into the business, it must have as much data as possible and also accurate data. If incomplete data is provided or the data is inaccurate, then the insights may not be useful for the business. The usefulness of the software may get compromised.

If the data transfers are made manually or through a buggy tool, the insights given by the BI tool may turn out to be useless. Thus BI software users must invest in an automated integration tool that allows smooth and error-free data flow from Tally to business intelligence software.
