we dɛn kɔl
1. Odit yu tul stak ɔnɛs wan. List ɛvri SaaS sabskripshɔn we yu tim de yuz. Fɔ ɛni tul, aks: us data i de kech we nɔbɔdi nɔ ebul fɔ si? Dat ɔfɛn data na yu blaynd ples.
2. Map yu manual brij dɛm. Identify ɛvri prɔses usay wan wokman de manually muv data frɔm wan sistɛm to ɔda wan — CSV ɛkspɔt, kɔpi-pas rutin, "syncing" mitin. Ɛni brij na pɔynt we de fel ɛn delay.
3. Kwantifay yu kɔntɛks-switch kɔst. Trak ɔmɔs tɛm pan de yu tim de swich bitwin aplikeshɔn dɛn. Multiply am wit 9.5 minit. Di nɔmba nɔ go kɔmfyut.
4. Prioritize yunifayd pletfɔm pas di bɛst-ɔf-brid stak. Di "best tul fɔ ɛni wok" filɔsofi de sawnd lɔjik bɔt i nɔ de tek tɛm wit intagreshɔn kɔst. wan pletfom we de handle 90% pan di fכnshכn dεm wit 85% kwaliti kin bכku tεm pas fayv "bεst" tul dεm we nכ de tכk to dεn wan dεm.
