Really Simple Systems is a cloud-based CRM system designed for small and medium-sized businesses. It helps companies manage sales, marketing, and customer service.

## Before you begin

To begin monitoring Really Simple Systems, ensure you have the following components and permissions in place:

- OpenLM components: OpenLM Cloud Broker, approved in [Broker Hub](https://openlm.com/documentation/cloud/data-collection/broker-hub).
- Platform-specific Requirements: You'll need administrative access to your Really Simple Systems account to generate an API key with the necessary read permissions.

## Configure data collection

1. Activate API Access: In your Really Simple Systems admin settings, create a new API key with read access to user and company data.
