Integration architecture
A complete inventory of the integrations you run, an integration layer with defined interfaces and monitoring, and a migration plan that keeps the business running.
When this is the right fit
Data moves through scripts and file drops
Nightly jobs, spreadsheets emailed on a schedule, and connectors that one or two people understand. When those people are unavailable, the integrations fail.
A new system has to connect to everything
A CRM, a warehouse system, or an ERP is coming in, and every existing connection is a question.
Nobody can say what depends on what
A table changes and something downstream fails a week later. Nothing alerts; someone notices.
What changes
A complete inventory
Every integration listed with what it moves, who owns it, how often it runs, and how it fails.
One integration layer
Systems connect to one layer with defined interfaces and monitoring. Replacing a system means changing one connection.
A migration order that keeps the business running
The plan moves connections in the order that reduces risk soonest, with each step reversible.
What you get
- Integration inventory: what it moves, who owns it, how it fails
- Target integration architecture and the order to get there
- Standards for new integrations so the sprawl does not come back
- Hands-on build of the first connections, then hand-off to your team
How an engagement runs
Assessment, plan, build. Each phase ends with a written result you keep.
1Assessment
A few weeks of looking at what you have: systems, integrations, customizations, and the people who keep them running. You get a written picture of the current state and a ranked list of what to change first.
2Plan
A target architecture and a phased plan: the order of work, what each phase depends on, and a cost estimate. The first phase is sized to deliver something you can use.
3Build and hand off
We do the work alongside your team. Documentation and knowledge transfer are part of every phase. Your team owns the result.

Start with the inventory
The inventory is the first phase and stands on its own. Describe the systems you run and we will scope it.
