Centralising your tech stack and data using robust integrations means proving ROI

What used to be a choice between a few hundred apps and platforms has grown to a complex web of nearly 10,000 marketing-specific tools. It's what Scott Brinker calls the 'app explosion'.

And now, leaders are faced with the task of simplifying the tech stack because too few of the hundreds of tools that companies are using are connected. And as a result, they end up spending resources to clean and connect data, rather than connect with their audience.

Infact, MarTech.org found that one of the most popular reasons that marketing leaders replaced an app in 2022 was for better and easier integrations. 

Centralising your tech stack and data using robust integrations means proving ROI, providing a better customer experience, and encouraging inter-team collaboration. An “antifragile” tech stack helps build resilience during times of economic uncertainty, with trusted data as a guide.

Budgeting for your tech stack and measuring ROI

In tighter economic times, you want to be judicious about your spend. It's a good time to simplify and consolidate your tech stack. Look at the cost structure across customer interactions, the marketing department does not need to bear the burden of the cost for the entire organisation.

    "We’re living in a world of hyperconnected data flows, and the data doesn’t always come from the apps we’re using anymore. The real future is in the utility of the application, and you can move the data where you need it to be. It’s causing the entire Martech landscape to shift and tilt completely."
