• Quote of the day: 'Understanding integrations isn’t just for engineers, business/commercial leaders need this knowledge to make sure their partnerships succeed.' – Hatem, Global Head of Partnerships at Foodics.
I fully agree with Hatem. Seamless integrations are not just the tech team's job; they need collaboration among tech, support, marketing, and commercial teams to meet both technical and business needs for successful partnerships and long-term growth. This is why I ensure my team at Mozrest always has the technical knowledge to create seamless integrations for our customers and partners.
