StoneDonut’s Systems Integration Solutions are the integration activities needed to communicate information to and from your internal systems, mobile and IoT systems, 3rd party providers, and custom applications.

It is necessary to determine the source location where the information originates and the destination location where the information will arrive. You need to determine the data structure of the source information and the data structure of the destination information, address their differences, and establish transformation rules in order to translate the source information data structure to the destination data structure.

Some businesses may have developed or implemented their own information standards (message standards), which may require the implementation of canonical message structures that are “published” to a service bus or shared queue within the business infrastructure where they are shared by any systems that can “subscribe” to the message.

It is necessary to determine the transport protocols that will be used to move the information from one point to the other. Also, any security requirements that may be required to communicate with the source and destination systems, the size and volume of information that will be communicated, and peak/seasonal loads to ensure that the infrastructure can support the amount of information that will be communicated.

StoneDonut’s System Integration solutions provide you with a solid roadmap towards resolving your integration challenges with a high level of quality. Please contact us for more information on our Systems Integration Solutions.

StoneDonut’s Integration Workflow Solutions are the integration activities needed to create rules and guidelines used in the movement of information across the business infrastructure. Moving information from one point to another can become more complex when the integration requirements require additional management of message order and correlation to insure that the information that reaches the destination is the most current or has been processed in the proper order so that all instances of the message type has been processed correctly.

There may also be situations where messages that fail processing properly within the destination will require rolling back their information to the source. There could also be sophisticated processing requirements that must communicate the message to a series of destination systems within a specific order based upon specific rules.

All of these examples require performing additional rules and activities to the message within the middle tier (the integration layer where the in-flight message exists before it reaches its destination) and these activities could be simple or very complex depending upon the requirements of the integration.

StoneDonut works with a variety of middleware and workflow management tools to help you efficiently manage your message processing.  Please contact us for more information on our Integration Workflow Solutions.

StoneDonut’s API Management Solutions are the activities needed to design, create, publish and/or manage the complete lifecycle of application programming interfaces for businesses. Most of the challenges of creating a proper API exists within the planning and architecting phases of the API.

It is important to address not only the business functionality that you wish to provide to the subscriber community, you must also consider the operational functionality as well – security, monetization, usage management, performance management, auditing, and reporting.

You also need to address the adoption functionality – how the subscriber community will find, review, validate, and embrace the API – providing a portal/site location containing full documentation on how to use the API with tutorials, samples, videos, SDKs and frameworks, trial usage capabilities, and immediate API signup capability.

Businesses are leveraging customer-centric solutions in order to maintain their competitive advantage, improve customer satisfaction, attract new business, and enhance their delivery model by gaining insights into their customers through the use of newer disparate technologies.

StoneDonut can help you architect and implement subscriber-focused API solutions to meet your business needs. Please contact us for more information on our API Management Solutions.

StoneDonut’s B2x Solutions are the integration activities needed to communicate information to and from your Business to Business (B2B) and Business to Consumer (B2C) systems. It is a known fact that businesses often underestimate the costs associated with integrating B2B and B2C solutions into their enterprise. They fail to capture the actual requirements necessary to perform a proper integration and are often left with a solution that includes additional human interaction, poor performance, data issues, and reduced expectations.

We have 17 years of experience integrating with a variety of B2C portals and B2B communication technologies across many different business channels. Our methodology ensures that your data integration requirements are met and flows properly to meet your business needs. Please contact us for more information on our B2x Solutions.
