Integration Center of Excellence: 9 Wk Impl.

Is your organization fraught with non-standard integration implementations ranging from cron jobs, point to point integrations, scattered ETL pipelines to custom made console apps?

The strongest tenet of an Integration strategy is the people, processes and policies that govern it. The platform itself is a key enabler, but not the main component. Organizations must focus on the foundations of a strong integration practice, then focus on the integrations itself.

We will establish an Integration Center of Excellence within your organization underpinned by the following deliverables:

• An Enterprise Integration Architecture, Patterns and DevOps document
• A Enterprise Integration Governance document
• A Security best practices document
• An Azure based Integration Platform

We will first understand your current integration landscape and integration use cases, then design and implement the Integration architecture, the governance and security and lastly, deploy the platform in your development, stage and production environments. 

Agenda: Week 1 - Integration Architecture Landscape Discovery Sessions

Week 2,3 - Enterprise Integration Architecture design and documentation

Week 4, 5 - Enterprise Integration Governance and Security design and documentation

Week 6,7,8 - Enterprise Integration Platform implementation
