Should you connect your business software or replace it?

The completed decision logic

The enquiry record owns the open request, the quotation record owns the offer, the appointment record owns the booking and the payment record owns payment status. A connection moves the necessary information between those authorities without creating competing versions of the same outcome.

A connector listed in a catalogue does not establish that the required permissions, fields, retries and failures are handled. The relevant evidence is the exact journey in the actual records.

What each option must establish

• Retain: the current tool completes its responsibility reliably and exposes the required authoritative outcome.
• Connect: the handoff supports the required permissions and fields, with retry and failure handling.
• Replace: the new tool demonstrates the required journey and the migration can be reconciled.
• In every option, a responsible person can detect and repair an incomplete handoff.
• A migration has an authorised owner and a practical rollback route.

The conclusion

For the hypothetical business in the completed example, ownership and state changes are the first repair. Retaining the current tools is the sensible starting point where they can support that process; a connection or replacement addresses a remaining demonstrated gap.
