How Does Devikone Help Its Clients With Integration Needs?

We’ve met numerous company representatives interested in developing their integration environments. Are there commonalities between these companies and their needs? Often, the initial motivation is quite individual, but we do see recurring needs that emerge time and time again. In this blog post, we’ve compiled the most common scenarios where we support our clients.

Still Operating in a Point-to-Point World and Aware That Moving to an Integration Platform Would Be Wise The project seems overwhelmingly large, and there’s a desire to understand the available technology options, the cost-effectiveness of open-source solutions, and to get a clearer picture of the project’s scope. (It’s actually very lightweight to implement 🙂
A Core System (Such as ERP or CRM) Is Being Replaced With that change comes the opportunity to take a step forward in integration architecture and implement new integrations through a modern integration platform.
Reporting and BI Create Challenges for Data Management Legal reporting requirements or internal needs demand that data be compiled efficiently from multiple systems.
Data Can’t Be Utilized Internal and external systems, hardware, and essentially all business operations generate data that companies would like to leverage to become more data-driven. However, data management hasn’t been approached holistically but from isolated use cases. Even though large volumes of data are collected, it remains unused, and this needs to change.
Integration Architecture Has “Gotten Out of Hand” Over the years, multiple integration solutions have been implemented, and some are still point-to-point, built with various integration technologies and no unified governance. Companies seek a consulting partner to help restore a controlled architecture and identify the optimal way to proceed.
A Large Vendor’s Integration Platform Has Been Acquired Everything is outsourced, often at a high cost. The company has no control over its integrations, and every change request must go through the vendor, who charges handsomely for every action. (Vendor lock-in)
A More Flexible Collaboration Model Is Desired One where an integration-specialized partner can deliver turnkey solutions if needed, but can also share some workload with the client's internal IT team.
A Low-Code Integration Platform Is in Use While it enables internal development for many cases, support is still needed for more complex integrations. The vendor’s assistance is expensive and slow, creating a bottleneck for progress.
The Cost-Effectiveness of Open Source Is Appealing Integration work is expensive, and organizations are looking for cost savings and more efficient ways of working.
Producing APIs and Implementing Integrations Software vendors and companies are interested in having an integration layer that connects to a centralized platform, from which the integration provider handles connections further downstream. For example, ERP integrations could push warehouse stock levels and real-time prices to the integration platform’s API for resellers to access.
There’s Significant Potential for Process Optimization, and Microservices and AI Are of Interest Since all system-to-system data flows through the integration layer, leveraging microservices and AI allows for process automation and elevates the overall system architecture to an entirely new level.

If any of these challenges resonate with you, don’t hesitate to reach out – we’re happy to help!
