What a middleware does
Instead of connecting every software tool to all the others, each one talks to a single central point.
Do you need a central layer for your systems?
We assess whether a middleware makes sense for your company, in the province of Como as well as between Milan and Lugano.
Integration through CSV, XML or FTP files has one software export data to a file that the other system imports automatically. It is useful when there is no API, but the exchange happens at intervals. We assess it with companies in Como and Brianza when the management system offers nothing else.
The documentation of an API integration describes data flows, field mapping, access and error handling. It allows a colleague or a new supplier of companies in Como and Brianza to step in without depending on a single person.
Systems authenticate by presenting a credential with every request, such as an access key or a temporary token, limited to the permissions needed. Our team in Cantù sets up these accesses for companies in Como, Brianza, Milan and Lugano that contact us.
The choice between point-to-point integration and a central platform depends on how many systems you connect and how much they will grow. A direct link is simple for limited needs, while a central platform stays orderly as systems multiply. We discuss it with companies in Como and Milan.
To integrate an ERP without APIs you use alternative routes: periodic file exchange, controlled reading of the database or an intermediate layer that translates the data. Each solution has pros and cons and must be chosen after analysing the software, which our team in Cantù does case by case.
