    Leave a Comment

    Have you ever stopped to think about how software integration makes your life easier? For example, you can donate to a cause and seconds later invite your social media followers to do the same—without even leaving the thank-you screen.

If you’ve never really stopped to think about how these processes work, that probably means they’re working well.
