8. Marketing Reasons For Vendors to Adopt SIF
Competitive edge over competitors
SIF Logo on their marketing material
Easier to implement systems
More data can be easily imported so the vendor can give more reports to the end user

9. Continue to talk to vendors about improvements and reporting
Have them provide you a dashboard (monitoring).
Are they giving you reports to help with 3DM and state reporting?
Can they move to two way?
How are they looking at SIF Spec 3.0?
How active are they in the SIF community?

10. Data Integrity No endless imports and exports
No blame game between vendor and end user about accuracy of data
Can feel confident when querying data that it is accurate and up to date

11. Helpful Hints for Implementation
Listen on Support calls
Ask questions about what they are doing
Take control during the GoToMeeting
Clear time to learn, will be paid back later
Understand what is in each object
Make it a learning experience!

12. Map Your Data What goes with what? What are you sending where?
Get help from vendor?
Great help if you decide to switch vendors
