Systems Integration
Most of what a business needs already exists in systems it owns. The cost sits in the gaps between them — the re-keying, the nightly file that half-arrives, the report nobody trusts because two systems disagree. Integration work closes those gaps without making the estate harder to change.
Why integration quietly gets expensive.
Point-to-point connections are cheap to build one at a time, and that is exactly how an estate becomes unchangeable.
Every connection built twice
Each project builds its own link to the same system, with its own field mapping and its own idea of what a customer record is.
Failures nobody sees
A nightly job half-runs and the error goes to a mailbox nobody reads. The data is wrong for weeks before someone downstream notices.
No agreed system of record
Two systems disagree about the same customer and both get defended, so reporting turns into an argument instead of a fact.
Vendor changes break the chain
An upgrade renames a field and the integration that depended on it fails silently, because nothing ever asserted the contract.
Integrate once, then reuse it.
Map what actually flows
Which system owns which field today, what is copied where, and which copy people trust when the two disagree.
Name the system of record
Every core entity gets one owner. That is a business decision rather than a technical one, and making it explicit is most of the work.
Build the interface once
Versioned APIs and event contracts, so the second and third consumer of a system cost a fraction of the first.
Assert and alert
Contract tests and monitoring on every flow, so a vendor change or a half-run job surfaces the day it happens rather than at month end.
What you actually receive.
Every item below is an artefact you keep, not a status report about work in progress.
- A current-state map of the flows between your systems, including the manual ones
- An agreed system of record for each core entity
- Versioned APIs and event contracts your teams can build against
- Reusable integrations in production, released one flow at a time
- Contract tests and alerting on every flow that goes live
- Documentation and runbooks your team can operate and extend from
Built on a proven stack.
We select technology for fit and longevity, and integrate with the systems you already run.
- Fits your existing systems
- Secure and scalable by design
- Measured against business outcomes
- Supported after launch
The things clients ask first.
Not necessarily. A platform earns its cost once you have many flows and several teams building them; below that it is licence spend and one more thing to run. We size the tooling to the number of flows you actually have, and we will say when the honest answer is a small service and a queue.
Yes — that is the normal case. Where a system exposes an API we use it; where it offers only files or a database view we build an adapter around it and keep that adapter thin, so the constraint stays in one place instead of spreading through the estate.
We surface it before anything is migrated. Reconciling against real records usually shows the disagreement is narrower than feared, and what remains is a business decision about which record wins rather than a technical one.
Some flows do and most do not. Events where a delay costs money, scheduled batches where it does not. It is far cheaper to add streaming later to a well-defined contract than to run the whole estate in real time because it sounded better.
