Connecting dozens of disparate SaaS tools via ad-hoc APIs does not give you agility or modularity. It gives you a fragile, undocumented monolith where a single vendor change brings down the company's core operations.
Technology that works for another company may depend on different skills, architecture and operating conditions. Leaders should assess readiness before adopting the same stack.
