Expect more ConnectWise integrations

ConnectWise customers can expect the pace and quality of integrations with third party software vendors to increase. That’s because of the company’s renewed focus on APIs and creating a new set of RESTful APIs for the ConnectWise platform, announced at IT Nation 2014.

The Tampa, Florida-based professional services automation (PSA) platform provider also used its annual user conference to preview ConnectWise 2015.1.

CEO Arnie Bellini noted his company could leverage future integrations and innovations to extend its reach.

“At ConnectWise, we never rest on our laurels, and we don’t expect our partners to do so either,” Bellini said in a prepared statement. “We challenge all of our partners to be disruptors in their own industries, reinvent the way they do business and go forth and change the world.”
