Integration
Consulting
Your tools do not talk to each other. Someone on your team pays that price every single day.
Most businesses run on a collection of disconnected systems. CRM, ERP, finance, marketing, support. Each one holds a piece of the picture, but none of them share it automatically. We design and build the integrations that turn isolated tools into a connected operation so your team can stop moving data by hand and start trusting the numbers.
Companies we've worked with
We have designed and built integrations across platforms like Salesforce, SAP S/4HANA, NetSuite, and Microsoft Dynamics 365 for organizations including Southern California Edison, Accenture, and News Corp.
We do not get paid by MuleSoft, Dell Boomi, Workato, or anyone else. When we recommend a platform, it is because it fits your situation. Not because someone is paying us to say it.
We do not build integrations for the sake of connecting things. Every integration we design ties back to a measurable outcome: hours saved, errors eliminated, or decisions that can finally happen in real time.
Every Missing Integration Is a Tax on Your Team's Time
Most businesses have more tools than integrations. Your CRM knows about your customers. Your ERP knows about your inventory. Your finance system knows about your invoices. But none of them know what the others know. So your team fills the gap by hand.
The cost adds up in ways that are easy to miss. Hours spent re-entering the same data across Salesforce, NetSuite, and HubSpot. Decisions made on yesterday's export because real-time data does not exist. Customer records that live in three places with three different versions. Reports nobody fully trusts because the underlying data has gaps.
The right integration architecture removes all of that. And the ROI math is usually straightforward once you add up what the manual work is actually costing you.
Manual Data Entry Between Systems
Information entered in one system has to be re-entered in another. Every re-entry costs time and introduces errors. Over a year, those hours and mistakes add up to real money.
Duplicate and Conflicting Records
The same customer, vendor, or product exists in multiple systems with different data in each. Nobody knows which version is correct, so decisions get made on incomplete information.
No Real-Time Visibility
Your team makes decisions that need current data, but they are working with yesterday's export. By the time the information is available, the window to act on it has already closed.
Brittle Point-to-Point Connections
Integrations built years ago with no documentation, no error handling, and no monitoring. They break whenever a vendor pushes an update, and nobody can explain why.
The Full Integration Picture
We do not just plug two systems together and walk away. We look at how data moves across your entire operation and design an integration layer that holds up as you grow.
API Architecture and Design
We evaluate your existing APIs and design new ones using REST, GraphQL, or gRPC depending on the use case. Every API follows an API-first design approach with proper versioning, authentication through OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect, and documentation using the OpenAPI standard. The goal is interfaces that are easy to maintain and safe to extend.
Platform and Application Integration
We connect the business systems you depend on. That includes CRM platforms like Salesforce and HubSpot, ERP systems like SAP S/4HANA and Oracle ERP Cloud, finance tools like Sage Intacct and Concur, and operations platforms like ServiceNow and Workday. We build integrations that keep these systems in sync without manual work.
Data Synchronization and Flow
We design how data moves between your systems. That might mean real-time event streaming with Apache Kafka or change data capture for near-instant sync. For batch workloads, we build ETL and ELT pipelines that run reliably. The approach depends on what your data needs, not what sounds impressive.
iPaaS and Middleware Selection
If your integration needs call for a platform, we help you choose the right one. That could be MuleSoft Anypoint Platform for complex enterprise environments, Dell Boomi AtomSphere for hybrid connectivity, Workato for business-led automation, or SnapLogic for data-heavy workloads. We evaluate options based on your scale, team skills, and budget.
Legacy System Modernization
Older systems running on SOAP, EDI, or SFTP protocols do not have to be replaced to be connected. We build adapters and middleware layers that let legacy systems participate in modern integration patterns like publish-subscribe and webhooks without requiring a full rewrite.
Security, Compliance, and Governance
Every integration we design includes proper authentication, encryption in transit, and audit logging. If you operate under SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, or GDPR requirements, we make sure your integration layer meets those standards. Data governance is built in from the start, not added later.
How It Works
Three steps over two weeks. You get a prioritized roadmap with real numbers attached to every opportunity we find.
Week 1
Discovery and Process Analysis
Discovery Interviews
We interview your leadership team and the people on the ground to find the gap between how the business is supposed to run and how it actually runs. That gap is where the money is. We are not asking about goals or visions. We are looking for broken processes, friction, and inefficiencies.
Map the Process and Find Opportunities
We map your entire operation across Acquisition, Delivery, and Support on a single canvas. Then we score every opportunity we found against effort and impact. Quick Wins go to the top. Before we finalize anything, we validate the plan with you so you have ownership of the priorities.

Presentation and Next Steps
The ROI Summary
Every recommendation comes with the math to back it up. The ROI Summary shows the savings per process, the estimated implementation cost, and the projected Year 1 ROI. We include a revenue uplift section showing what happens when you redirect freed-up employee hours to higher-value work. The presentation ends with clear next steps.
Documents You Can Act On
Every deliverable comes with clear next steps, effort estimates, and expected outcomes. These are working documents, not slide decks that collect dust.
Integration Audit Report
A complete map of your current integration landscape. What is connected, what is not, where manual reconciliation is happening, and what it is costing you. Includes a dependency diagram so you can see how every system relates to every other.
Integration Architecture Design
A full specification of the target integration layer. Data flows, API contracts, transformation logic, error handling patterns, and conflict resolution rules. Designed to scale with your business, not just solve today's problem.
Platform Selection Rationale
If we recommend an iPaaS or middleware solution, you get the full reasoning. Why this platform over the alternatives, how it fits your team's skills, and the total cost of ownership over three years. No black-box recommendations.
API Documentation and Contracts
Full documentation of every API endpoint, data contract, and integration pattern using the OpenAPI standard. Your team or a future vendor can maintain and extend what we build without reverse-engineering anything.
Monitoring and Alerting Setup
Real-time visibility into integration health through tools like Datadog, Splunk, or Elastic Stack. Failures get caught right away instead of being discovered when someone notices missing data downstream.
Migration and Implementation Roadmap
A phased plan for getting from your current state to the target architecture. Every step is sequenced by risk and dependency, with timelines and effort estimates your team can plan around.
Signs Your Integration Layer Needs Outside Help
You do not need to be in crisis for this to be worth doing. But if any of these sound familiar, it is probably time to get an outside perspective from someone who has connected these same systems before.
Your team spends hours every week copying data between systems that should be connected
You have multiple versions of the same customer or product record and nobody knows which one is right
Reports take days to produce because the data has to be pulled from several places and reconciled by hand
Vendors and contractors built integrations that nobody on your team understands or can maintain
You are paying for a CRM, ERP, and finance system but they operate as separate islands
Existing integrations break regularly and nobody can explain why or fix them quickly
You are preparing for a fundraise, product launch, or acquisition and your data needs to be clean and connected
Your internal team says the systems are fine, but deadlines keep slipping because of manual workarounds
You feel locked into a platform or vendor because your data is trapped there with no clean way out
Board members or investors are asking about data quality and your team cannot answer confidently
How We Approach This Differently
We bring 23+ years of hands-on integration work to every engagement. Here is what that means for you.
Senior-Level Expertise Without the Full-Time Cost
You get direct access to someone who has designed integration architectures inside Fortune 500 environments using platforms like MuleSoft, Informatica, and Microsoft Azure Integration Services. That depth of experience would cost over $300K a year in a full-time hire, and we bring it to every engagement on a flexible basis.
We Look at the Whole Operation, Not Just the API
Integration is not just a technical problem. We look at how your teams use data, where the handoffs break down, and what the manual workarounds are actually costing. If the real issue is a process problem disguised as a technology problem, we find it.
A Methodology, Not Just Opinions
We use our Ground-Up Profit Discovery process to identify where disconnected systems are costing you money. Every recommendation comes with numbers showing the cost of the current state and the expected return from fixing it.
We Stay Through Execution
We do not hand over an architecture document and walk away. We stay involved through implementation and testing to make sure what gets built actually works with your real data. Accountability is built into how we work.
Need Help With the Underlying Infrastructure?
Integration is only one side of the equation. If your underlying architecture cannot handle the load, connecting more systems will only expose deeper problems. Our Systems Architecture Consulting service focuses on making sure your infrastructure is solid before you build on top of it.
