Why clients call us
Very few organisations have an integration problem in the singular. They have several hundred applications, a few acquisitions, two generations of middleware and a cloud programme running in parallel. The published benchmark is blunt: around 71% of enterprise applications remain disconnected from one another.
We start from the estate rather than from a target diagram. We map what actually flows, identify the interfaces that carry real business risk, and design a hybrid architecture where the message bus, the API layer and the event backbone each do what they are good at.
What we do
- Integration architecture and assessmentFlow cartography, interface inventory, coupling analysis, and a target architecture that survives contact with your constraints, including the ones nobody documented.
- Hybrid and event-driven designAPI-led connectivity where synchronous contracts matter, event streaming where volume and decoupling matter, managed file transfer where partners and regulators still require it.
- Build, mapping and intelligent routingContent-based routing, enrichment from databases and APIs, aggregation of several flows into unified messages, multi-step orchestration with retries and alerting.
- Real-time synchronisationMoving from nightly batch to continuous flow, the biggest architectural shift of the current cycle and the precondition for any credible real-time reporting or AI use case.
- Run and managed serviceMonitoring, incident handling, evolution and on-call cover on critical flows, with your team or in place of it.
Around 71% of enterprise applications are still disconnected from one another. Until the interfaces an AI use case depends on exist and are instrumented, it has nothing to read.

- A cloud or ERP programme that has hit the integration layer
- A merger or carve-out that leaves two of everything
- An AI or analytics initiative blocked on data access
- End of support on an existing middleware platform
