Integrating systems is no longer just plumbing—it’s strategy. As organisations modernise, the ability to connect platforms, orchestrate data, and evolve architecture without disruption becomes a competitive advantage. The question isn’t whether to integrate, but how to do it reliably, securely, and at a pace the business can absorb.
From Spaghetti to Services
We favour API-first and event-driven patterns, supported by clear domain boundaries. This reduces coupling, shortens change cycles, and enables independent scaling. Reference architectures and contract testing keep integrations resilient as teams evolve.
Architecture Principles
- Business Alignment: Architecture serves outcomes—speed to value, risk reduction, and experience.
- Modularity: Services with single responsibility, clear ownership, and versioned contracts.
- Observability: Traceability across calls, with SLOs and error budgets to guide prioritisation.
- Security: Zero-trust posture, least-privilege access, secrets management, and policy-as-code.
Mini Case: Utility Provider Integration Modernisation
A utilities provider needed near real-time data sharing across legacy and customer platforms. We introduced an API gateway, asynchronous messaging, and schema governance. Teams moved from monthly releases to weekly, while incident MTTR dropped as observability improved.
