When speaking of Merchant systems, at a minimum these include a storefront (including self-care) and content management systems. Typically merchants also integrate Subscribe with their CRM, Customer Support tools, and ERP systems. You may also decide to extract rich data from Subscribe to feed your own data warehouse and/or augment data in your ERP system. Merchant IT Systems The Essentials Implementation Playbook and use cases is a collection of step-by-step use cases and tutorials (with video and sample code) to help you get started and get you up and running in the shortest amount of time. The Playbook is organized into a series of Modules and use cases, sequenced according to our recommended best practices. We recommend that you follow the use case order as displayed for a full successful integration. Complex businesses may require custom use cases, customizations, and additional resources to help complete your integration. In addition to the Implementation Playbook, *Subscribe Enterprise* comes with a dedicated Solution Delivery team, including a solution architect who can help map Subscribes deep capabilities to meet your specific business needs to augment the Implementation Playbook. The Solution Delivery team is there to address any questions you might have during integration and beyond along with 24x7 email support. If you lack any of these components or need additional resources to complete an integration, Vindicia offers *Turnkey Solutions Delivery*, *Professional Services* staff augmentation, and service *Extensions* that allow you to get the support you need for your specific circumstance.
