Proof of Concept

Requirements for integration projects carry inherent technology risks that must be managed thoughtfully.  The challenges of decoding heterogeneous technology platforms, proprietary vendor transactional architectures, disparate communication paradigms and unproven system interconnectivity can undermine a project’s success.  We formulate an integration approach in the proof of concept that best compliments the capabilities of the individual systems as well as the skill sets of the project resources.  Your project team will ultimately realize greater visibility into the business requirements along with an increased confidence to implement them.

Some the benefits you can expect:

• Validating interface points between your line of business systems and crisply defining the boundaries of ownership between the application systems and integration toolsets
• Expediting toolset and domain-specific skill development in the project team to accelerate interface development tasks and reduce the risk of code re-factoring
• Establishing baseline estimating metrics to more appropriately size interface efforts and make more informed scope, timeline, and budget tradeoffs prior to commencing design and development
• Informing the functional design process by exploring technical limitations and constraints to minimize rework
• Establishing project-specific technical design standards and best practices for subsequent phases
• Abstracting line of business low-level application integration endpoints into higher-level programming APIs reducing the total effort and inherent risk in completing integration tasks.  This drives common implementations of integration software, reducing the total code written and increasing code cohesion thereby reducing long-term support burdens.
