Slow to capture new revenue opportunities

Make changes to APIs and implement new platform technology as required, in order to make all core business assets and their interconnected metadata available via API, conforming to an organization-wide data model.

Using SaaS (Software as a Service) products saves you from spending resources re-inventing the wheel, it reduces the cost of management, reduces time-to-market, and enables your team to focus on your core differentiators. If it is available to buy or rent, then don't spend your competitive advantage on rebuilding it.
