API-led integration
Designing and building layered integrations – system, process and experience – so a connection built once gets reused rather than rebuilt per project. With versioning and deprecation planned from the start.
Services
Integration is where enterprise estates actually break
API-led integration, legacy middleware migration, EDI and B2B onboarding, and managed support across ten integration platforms.
Integration is the least visible part of an enterprise estate and the most expensive to get wrong. A bad decision here does not fail loudly – it compounds quietly for years as interfaces multiply, error handling is skipped, and knowledge concentrates in one person's head.
We work across the major platforms rather than reselling one, which means we can tell you when your existing middleware is fine.
What we deliver
Legacy middleware migration
Moving off platforms you can no longer support or staff: Cast Iron and App Connect Professional, older Oracle SOA releases, ageing TIBCO estates. The hard part is recovering business logic buried in undocumented templated flows.
EDI and B2B
X12 and EDIFACT mapping, AS2 and SFTP transport, VAN connectivity, trading partner onboarding, acknowledgement handling, and the exception processes that stop partners chasing you.
API management
Gateway and policy design, OAuth and key management, traffic shaping and quotas, developer portals, and analytics on who is actually consuming what.
Messaging and gateways
Queue manager design and administration, clustering and high availability, channel security and TLS, plus edge gateway configuration for message-level security and protocol bridging.
Managed integration support
24/7 monitoring of interfaces, incident response, reprocessing of failed messages, and monthly reporting on interface volumes and failure rates.
Platforms we work across
- iPaaS and API-led – Boomi, MuleSoft Anypoint, Google Apigee
- ESB and SOA – Oracle SOA Suite and Service Bus, TIBCO BusinessWorks, IBM App Connect Enterprise, and the IBM Integration Bus and WebSphere Message Broker estates it grew from
- Messaging and gateways – IBM MQ, IBM DataPower, TIBCO EMS
- Legacy – IBM Cast Iron and App Connect Professional, for support and migration
- B2B – ANSI X12, EDIFACT, AS2
The useful question about any of these is not whether a firm lists the logo, but how many people have shipped production work on it in the last year. Ask us that and you will get a number.
How an integration engagement runs
- 01
Map what exists
Every interface, its owner, its volume, its failure rate and whether anyone still needs it. This alone usually identifies interfaces that can simply be switched off.
- 02
Decide per interface
Keep, re-platform, consolidate or retire. Costed, so the decision is yours.
- 03
Build with the boring parts included
Error handling, retries, idempotency, reconciliation and alerting are in scope from the start. They are what separates an integration that runs unattended from one that needs a person watching it.
- 04
Hand over properly
Runbooks, interface catalogue and monitoring dashboards, so support does not depend on the people who built it.
Estate held together by interfaces nobody documented?
That is the most common reason clients call us about integration. Tell us roughly how many interfaces you have and what breaks most often.
