Top 3 integration and architecture challengesunpacked

Data silos and workflow disruptions

Businesses struggle with data stuck in separate systems, preventing them from getting a full picture. These disjointed systems create workflow headaches, making it difficult to manage operations costeffectively. To stay competitive and future-proof, integrating systems is key to ensuring that your data flows smoothly and your digital services work seamlessly together. A solid integration plan breaks down these silos. And boy do we know how to handle integration jungles!

Scalability issues and rigidity

Rigid architectures don't play well with change. We embrace composable architecture, which is like building with Lego blocks—add, remove, or rearrange without breaking a sweat. Rigid systems make scaling and adapting to change difficult. A more flexible approach, like composable architecture, allows businesses to easily add, remove, or adjust components without disrupting the entire system. This adaptability is crucial for growing and staying responsive to new demands. By adopting modular, scalable architecture, you future-proof your systems, making them ready for any change or growth.

Rising IT complexity and costs

As businesses grow, IT complexity and costs often spiral out of control. What may start as a simple integration can evolve into a complicated, resource-draining project. Simplifying and streamlining IT operations is essential for managing budgets while ensuring that systems run efficiently and effectively, without unnecessary burdens on your team or resources. Leveraging automation and strategic planning can significantly reduce IT complexity, keeping costs under control and processes efficient.

Turning architecture challenges into future-proofed systems

We dive deep into collaboration, working hand-in-hand with your team to tailor solutions that truly resonate with your needs. By leveraging tools like Platform.sh for hosting and employing a composable architecture, we ensure that your systems are not just integrated but are primed for future growth and innovation.

Our process begins with a thorough technical discovery to understand your existing systems, followed by detailed planning and design phases that include user journey mapping and architecture planning. Proof of concept phases validate our approach, leading to agile sprint work and continuous iterations, all the way through to ongoing maintenance and support.
