Integrations

We help you integrate your existing systems and applications to work together seamlessly — whether internally or with external, third-party platforms. Powered by agile and XP principles for flexibility and reliability.

  1. 1
    Integration Needs Assessment
    Goal: Understand the business context and integration objectives.
    • Identify internal and external systems that need to be connected
    • Map data flows, dependencies, and pain points
    • Define success criteria and business value
    • Highlight constraints, security, and compliance requirements
    Deliverables:
    • Integration Opportunity Map
    • System Inventory & Data Flow Diagram
    • Business Requirements Summary
  2. 2
    API & Interface Discovery
    Goal: Review existing systems for integration capabilities.
    • Evaluate APIs, SDKs, webhooks, and file exchange capabilities
    • Identify missing or undocumented interfaces
    • Document authentication, rate limits, and protocols
    Deliverables:
    • API Inventory & Access Requirements
    • Integration Capability Matrix
    • Auth & Rate Limiting Requirements
  3. 3
    Architecture & Tooling Selection
    Goal: Design a scalable, secure, and maintainable integration architecture.
    • Choose between point-to-point, middleware, or event-driven architecture
    • Select tools (e.g. Zapier, n8n, custom APIs, ESBs, queues)
    • Consider observability, error handling, and retries
    Deliverables:
    • Integration Architecture Diagrams
    • Tooling & Stack Selection
    • Error Handling & Retry Strategy
  4. 4
    Incremental Integration Development
    Goal: Build integrations in small, testable increments.
    • Develop one integration flow at a time
    • Write tests for data integrity and contract validation
    • Use mock services or sandbox environments
    Deliverables:
    • Working Integration Modules
    • Test Scripts and CI Validation Logs
    • Sandbox or Staging Flows
  5. 5
    Testing & Validation
    Goal: Ensure data flows as expected and systems behave reliably.
    • End-to-end testing with production-like data
    • Validate edge cases, failures, and retries
    • Stakeholder sign-off for critical integration paths
    Deliverables:
    • Test Plans & Execution Logs
    • Signed-Off Data Flow Scenarios
    • Error/Success Rate Reports
  6. 6
    Deployment & Monitoring
    Goal: Deploy integrations safely and ensure observability.
    • Use CI/CD pipelines for safe deployment
    • Enable monitoring, logging, and alerting
    • Run post-deploy checks and baseline performance
    Deliverables:
    • Production Integration Deployments
    • Monitoring Dashboards & Alerts
    • Deployment Scripts & Logs
  7. 7
    Maintenance & Iteration
    Goal: Adapt integrations as systems evolve.
    • Track integration performance and failures
    • Respond to upstream or downstream API changes
    • Plan for versioning and continuous improvements
    Deliverables:
    • Integration Change Logs
    • Maintenance Plan
    • Improvement Backlog
