Architectural integration diagnostics instead of a formula

We replaced the old estimate based on the number of systems and flows with an analysis of architecture, data, risks and business impact.

Integration Architecture Diagnostics

Project estimation

First we analyze the architecture, then we name a realistic scope of work

Systems and owners

We record data sources and consumers, process owners, the criticality of environments and the points where the business is already losing speed.

Data flows

We break down events, API, files, queues, ETL and manual exports: what should run synchronously and what can be moved to asynchronous exchange.

Reliability and SLA

We check fault tolerance, redelivery, monitoring, logging and recovery scenarios after failures.

Security

We separately review access rights, personal data, action auditing, network boundaries and information security requirements for the integration environment.

Cost of changes

We evaluate not only the development of the first release, but also support, growth, the cost of errors and vendor dependency.

Business impact

We link architectural decisions to metrics: request processing time, product time-to-market, data quality and reduction of manual labor.

What the team gets

The diagnostics outcome can be discussed with business, IT and procurement

Integration map

Which systems are connected, where there are duplicates, manual operations, hidden dependencies and risk zones.

Architectural option

What is best to use: ESB, a message broker, ETL, DWH, API gateway, direct exchange or a combination of approaches.

Work plan

Release sequence, team composition, dependencies on internal specialists and result checkpoints.
