Integrations
Reliable data flow between corporate applications, devices and field systems.
More than connectivity
Integration includes receiving data from the correct source, validating it, applying business rules, delivering it securely and monitoring the result.
Connection types
Select the appropriate method for the existing landscape.
Database services
Controlled file transfer
Message queues and event-driven flows
Printers, readers, PLCs and field devices
ERP, WMS, QMS and LIMS connectivity
Operational controls
A supportable integration includes failure handling as well as data transfer.
Ownership of source and target data
Authentication and access boundaries
Retry, duplicate and idempotency rules
Monitoring and support responsibility
Integration map
A good integration defines which system owns which data and what happens when transfer fails.
Systems
Source and target systems are identified.
Data ownership
The master source for each critical dataset is defined.
Contract
API, file, queue or another service boundary is specified.
Operations
Monitoring, alerts, retry and support ownership are agreed.
Frequently asked questions
Does every integration need to be real time?
No. Synchronous, asynchronous or controlled batch methods can be selected according to business need.
What if a system has no API?
Integration may still be possible through secure, supportable file or database methods where appropriate.
