Systems integration

Few companies start from a blank page. Usually several systems coexist, each useful, none talking to the others. Integration means connecting them cleanly rather than replacing the lot.

What we connect

  • Gateways between business applications, SQL databases, websites and management systems
  • Data imports and exports, takeovers and migrations
  • Synchronisation between sites, branches or environments
  • Interfaces with existing systems, including older and proprietary ones
  • Connecting web platforms to CRM, ERP and accounting tools
  • Interfacing with hardware: printers, terminals, production devices

Collaboration tools

We have deployed shared-working solutions at many clients: shared calendars, groupware, CRM and ERP, including open-source alternatives to proprietary messaging platforms. The difficulty is rarely the product chosen; it is migrating the existing data and getting users through the transition.
