As usual you are the voice of reason and sensibility Jenn! Well said. I might also add that you want to make sure any systems you consider or purchase must have documented and supported, OPEN APIs and SDKs. Ones where you can, but DO NOT NEED to hire the company selling it to do the integration. You really need the ability to interconnect - but then choose and prioritize where to integrate based on evolving needs of your business.
