Data and integration

The model is not the hard part. Getting clean, current, permissioned data out of the systems of record is the hard part, and it is where most projects quietly stop.

How we approach it

We do the connector and schema work properly: incremental sync, access control that matches the roles you already have, and a data layer the rest of the product can rely on.

What you receive

Connectors to your systems of record, the schema and access work that makes them queryable, and tests that catch it when an upstream field changes.

A concrete example

Reconciling customer records across a legacy CRM, a billing system, and a warehouse so one query answers what currently takes three tabs.

How it runs

Four stages, in this order

The risky work happens second, not last, so a bad answer arrives while it is still cheap.

  1. 01

    Shape

    A written scope: what we would build, what we would not, and what could stop it.

  2. 02

    Prototype

    A working prototype on your data, and an honest read on feasibility.

  3. 03

    Production

    The product running in your infrastructure, with its evaluation suite and monitoring.

  4. 04

    Operate or hand over

    An agreed monthly scope, or documentation and access.

Before you write

We turn work down

It is cheaper for both of us to find out here.

A good fit

  • Your work has a shape the software you buy does not have, and the difference is costing real hours.
  • You want to own the product at the end of it, not rent a seat in someone else's.
  • Someone technical on your side can make decisions without a committee.
  • You would rather hear that a step is not feasible in week two than in month five.

Not a fit

  • You want a proof of concept whose purpose is to exist rather than to run.
  • What you actually need is an off-the-shelf tool, configured well. We will tell you when that is the answer.
  • You want a strategy deck with no build attached.
  • You need a fixed scope signed before anyone has looked at your data.

Start here

Describe the process and we will tell you whether this is the line it needs.

If it turns out to be none of them, we will say that too, and point you at whoever does it properly.
