Software & systems
Connecting programs
When your software finally talks to each other
What this is about
Most businesses do not have too little software, they have too many islands. We connect your existing programs so that data is entered once and then moves by itself to where it is needed.
What is included
- Survey of all programs and their interfaces
- Connection through official interfaces, file exchange or database
- Rules for direction, frequency and conflict cases
- A log of every transfer, traceable when questions arise
- Monitoring with an alert if a synchronisation fails to run
Process
How we go about it.
Survey
Which systems exist, and which data is duplicated?
Design
Define the leading system for each type of data.
Connect
Build the interfaces and test them in a dry run.
Monitor
Ongoing checks and error handling.
Frequent questions
This is what we are often asked.
What if a program has no interface?
Then there is almost always another way: file export, database access or controlled operation of the user interface. We check what is sustainable.
Who wins when data conflicts?
We decide that beforehand: for each type of data there is a leading system. Without that rule, chaos results.
How will we know if a synchronisation is stuck?
The monitoring reports it, usually before anyone in the business notices.
