Business Challenge
Partnering with a new ent erprise customer, our client had to integrate its existing system with a solution from their partner’s side. The main challenge was that the partner’s module was still in the process of being developed by a third party, and our company had to introduce a solution with respect to following potential risks mitigation.
Project Description
The project required developing a solution that integrated our client’s modules with the software from the client partner’s side. To design the system properly during the discovery phase, we conducted a series of workshops that included the following activities:
- An audit of the client’s system, focusing on architecture and security issues
- A feasibility study of the integration of the two systems
- Mapping out the best way to integrate the systems (architecture vision and systems functional requirements issues)
- Identifying limitations and best approaches testing recommendations.
Value Delivered
Implementing the solution supported the client’s new enterprise partnership. The main challenge of the project was the risk of developing a solution to integrate with an unfinished third-party component. Nevertheless, the project was successfully delivered on time and on budget. Benefits of cooperation included:
- Deep analysis of the solution’s architectural structure
- Validation of the feasibility of the integration request
- A fully developed solution integrating the client’s payment system with the partner’s services system
- Proof of concept implementation to decrease risks and costs before full scope system development
- Hosting the solution and fully integrated processes after implementation
- Taking the load from the in-house team creating extra capacity for other initiatives
- Allowing the company IT department to focus on things other than the maintenance of supportive products.
