Integrations between systems
Almost no company has a software problem: it has five programs that work and do not talk to each other. In between there is a person copying data from one to the next, and that is where the time goes and where the errors get in.
Free reviewWhen you need this
- The same value gets typed twice into two different systems.
- Someone exports from one place and imports into another, every week.
- The numbers in one system and another disagree and nobody knows which to believe.
- You bought good software that does not fit with the rest of what you have.
What it includes
- A connection between what you already have, without replacing what works.
- Error handling and retries, so a network blip does not lose an order.
- A record of what moved and when, so it can be audited afterwards.
- Alerts when something stalls, instead of finding out at month end.
How we do it
The integration is designed assuming it will fail, because it will: the network drops, the other system lags, someone renames a field. What separates a serious integration from a script is what happens at that moment, and that is decided during architecture.
Five phases, each with its own acceptance criteriaQuestions about this service
What if the system we need to connect has no API?
There are ways round it, and not all of them are good. The audit says which one applies and what it costs to maintain, because some of them break every time the other vendor ships an update.
How long does an integration between two systems take?
Most engagements are delivered in two to four weeks. What stretches it is rarely the code, it is getting access and documentation from the other side.

Moving data from one system to another without stopping the operation.
