Controller, Schell's

Thriveon is one of the best things that happened to us this year. We started out retaining their services to obtain a more reliable and effective data backup solution, but their services to us evolved into a partnership where they are providing not only backup, but also disaster recovery, enhanced security, regular system and hardware monitoring and maintenance, and day-to-day speedy, reliable, professional and knowledgeable support services for all our IT needs (which Thriveon offers through their unlimited support program). Thriveon encourages support requests from all our staff members, for all of our IT questions, big or small, including questions regarding Microsoft Office and our other applications and software programs. Their engineers are friendly and really approachable.

Steve Franta

Managing Partner, The Legal Professionals

Thriveon truly focuses on the customer service side of the business. They impress us often with their support. And Thriveon is the first IT company that we found would prevent problems before they happen, rather than react to them after they happened.

Thriveon has been working with us and guiding us along the way…We enjoy having more than a client-vendor relationship. We view it as a partnership. We rely on Thriveon heavily, and they’ve always been there for us. Their support for us has been unwavering.

System Integration Built for Business Performance

Connected applications and workflows

App Alignment

Align apps to goals

Application alignment starts with understanding how your people work, where data breaks down, and which systems create the most friction. Thriveon evaluates line-of-business applications, ERP platforms, Microsoft 365, reporting tools, and workflow dependencies against your business goals.

The outcome is a clear view of what to connect, optimize, replace, or retire so technology investments support efficiency instead of adding complexity.

Project Management

Keep projects accountable

Integration projects need more than technical skill. They need visible ownership, clear milestones, and practical communication between leadership, users, software vendors, and technical teams. Thriveon uses documented statements of work, defined success metrics, weekly status tracking, and risk identification to keep projects on course.

This approach reduces scope creep, improves accountability, and creates a smoother transition into ongoing support.

Data Integration

Improve reporting clarity

Disconnected systems often lead to inconsistent reporting, duplicate entry, and delayed decisions. Thriveon helps improve data flow between core business applications, productivity platforms, and reporting environments so your team can trust the information being used.

Power BI and practical analytics planning can turn operational data into clearer dashboards, better visibility, and more confident leadership decisions.

Workflow Automation

Reduce repetitive work

Manual steps can slow accounting, operations, project management, and administrative teams. Thriveon identifies repeatable workflows where automation can reduce errors, improve consistency, and give employees time back for higher-value work.

Using tools such as Power Automate within a broader IT roadmap, automation is planned around measurable outcomes, user adoption, security, and long-term supportability.

Vendor Coordination

Control vendor complexity

Software vendors often solve only their portion of the problem. Thriveon coordinates the full technology picture, including application vendors, infrastructure requirements, licensing, security controls, integrations, and support handoffs.

This reduces vendor sprawl, avoids duplicated spend, and helps leaders make purchasing decisions based on ROI, operational fit, and the needs of the business rather than disconnected recommendations.

Documentation

Support long-term stability

System integration affects access, data, devices, workflows, and support processes. Thriveon documents configurations, dependencies, permissions, vendor contacts, and lifecycle needs so the environment remains manageable after the project is complete.

That documentation supports faster troubleshooting, better onboarding, compliance readiness, and a more stable technology foundation as your organization grows.

Integrate Systems Around the Way Your Business Works

System integration should do more than connect software. It should help your leadership team improve visibility, reduce manual work, and make better decisions with cleaner data.

Thriveon approaches integration through executive-level IT strategy, application insight, cybersecurity, and project discipline. That means the right systems are evaluated against your business goals, operating model, budget, compliance needs, and long-term roadmap before work begins.

From ERP and line-of-business application planning to Microsoft 365, Power Automate, Power BI, cloud adoption, and vendor coordination, each initiative is managed with defined success metrics, clear documentation, and a transition plan for ongoing support.

Reduce Manual Work and Improve Data Flow

When systems are disconnected, teams spend more time reconciling information than using it. A standards-based integration process helps remove the friction between applications, infrastructure, security, and daily operations.

Clarify business requirements before selecting or connecting systems.
Align ERP, productivity, and line-of-business applications to workflows.
Reduce duplicate data entry, reporting gaps, and process bottlenecks.
Coordinate software vendors with accountable project management.
Document systems, access, configurations, and support requirements.

The result is a more reliable technology environment that supports growth without adding unnecessary complexity.

Make Integration Part of Your Technology Roadmap

Many integration projects fail because the technology is treated as the goal. Thriveon keeps the focus on operational fit, risk reduction, and measurable business value.

Your integration strategy can include application assessments, vendor evaluation, workflow mapping, cybersecurity review, budgeting, and a phased project roadmap. This helps leaders understand what should be connected, what should be simplified, and where automation or analytics can improve performance.

With Fractional CIO guidance and proven project management, system integration becomes part of a broader technology roadmap instead of a one-time technical fix. That creates better adoption, cleaner handoffs, and more predictable results.
