When an ERP’s functionality does not fully meet your business’s needs, it’s time to think about extending it.

Tyk vs. DreamFactory, we’re showing you how they compare! API gateways are becoming a necessary part of modern application development – especially for those who want to build a secure, agile, microservices-based architecture quickly and cost-effectively. API gateways are also increasingly important for connecting the apps and services that make up a cloud and hybrid-cloud IT infrastructure.

Whatever the size of your business, ERP implementation is a critical project. A successful implementation will move your business from a tangled mess of siloed processes to a streamlined system that acts as a single source of truth, enabling better reporting, superior decision-making, and improved collaboration across your organization.
