Services from OTOKO®

From separate systems to one reliable process.

We develop APIs, connect existing applications and build integration platforms for data and events. This allows business systems, partners and machines to exchange information without every change triggering a chain of manual repairs.

System Integration & Interfaces · Planning and implementation by OTOKO®

6 specific services

How can we support you?

An interface is more than a successful data transfer. Sender and receiver must attach the same meaning to the data, handle errors and be able to introduce changes in a controlled way. We plan the architecture, implement connections and test the complete business process. Older applications and file transfers also remain in scope. The technical solution follows your requirements for data freshness, load, security and maintainability.

API management

Partners and applications need interfaces whose behavior they can rely on. We design API contracts, set up access and protection at the gateway and organize versions, documentation and approvals across the entire lifecycle.

Microservices

Independent development can help, but too many distributed services can also get in its way. We review meaningful business boundaries and implement a suitable architecture, including communication, data ownership, delivery and operations.

Connecting legacy systems

Important business logic often resides in applications that do not have a modern API. We make the needed functions accessible through suitable adapters and plan a step-by-step decoupling. Your day-to-day business and the consistency of your data determine the migration path.

Integration platforms

When point-to-point connections become unmanageable, we create an organized integration layer. It takes on defined transformations, routing and error handling between applications, databases and partner systems, with clear responsibility for each data flow.

Streaming & events

An order, a machine state or a stock change is meant to trigger further processes. We design event contracts and implement the platform and connections, so that recipients can respond reliably, including during load spikes or temporary outages.

Integration testing & monitoring

One system reports green, but the customer order gets stuck. We make complete processes testable and errors traceable across system boundaries. Tests, metrics and operating instructions are aligned with your most important business cases.

Scoping the work properly

A clear starting point. A shared goal.

The software service Interfaces & System Integration supports individual application projects. This area goes deeper into enterprise-wide integration architecture, shared platforms and cross-system operating procedures. Data ownership in ERP and CRM is coordinated with the business units.

Bring your situation, the systems involved and the result you want. We clarify which service enables the next step and what preparation is required for it.

How the services fit together

From individual systems to one traceable business process.

OTOKO® connects applications, data and technical platforms. We provide analysis, interface development, integration logic and the agreed testing and operations modules. The focus is on the complete process, not just a successful data transfer.

Not every connection needs the same architecture

An immediate lookup, a nightly data reconciliation and the distribution of business events each have different requirements. We choose between API, file, middleware and event-based processing based on timeliness, data volume and business feedback. Existing products and constraints are taken into account.

API management creates controlled access; integration platforms coordinate recurring connections. For legacy systems, adapters encapsulate historical formats and limited access options. We consider splitting into microservices only where business ownership and independent changes promise real benefit.

Operation starts with error handling

A case can be accepted on a technical level and still fail from a business perspective. We model intermediate states, feedback and retries so that your team can see what happened. Owners receive suitable diagnostic information and a way to make a controlled correction.

Integration tests safeguard the agreed contracts and the most important end-to-end processes. Logs, metrics and traces support troubleshooting across system boundaries. This keeps a new connection from becoming yet another invisible dependency that only becomes apparent when something breaks.

Guidance for your project

This is how your project could begin.

Possible starting point: Today, an order moves manually between the portal, the ERP system and logistics. We record the process including exceptions, determine the authoritative data and first implement one complete, well-defined transfer path. Further variants follow on the same verifiable basis.

We align the starting point with your goals and existing systems.

Before the first step

Your questions about System Integration & Interfaces.

Can we start with a single service?

Yes. The 6 services can be planned as clearly scoped work packages. Together we clarify the situation, the prerequisites and the result you need first. The subpages show the respective scope and the technical decisions.

How is the specific project scope defined?

Before implementation, we agree on goals, affected systems, involvement, results and acceptance criteria. Open technical questions can first be clarified in a current-state review or a pilot. Additional tasks are assessed for their impact on effort and schedule.

What happens after the handover?

Documentation, briefing and responsibilities are covered in the engagement. If OTOKO® takes on ongoing tasks, we agree on an operating scope for them, including service hours and escalation paths. Your team can also take the results forward itself or with existing partners.
