Why us for Integration & Middleware
Integration is where the other six workstreams find out whether they agreed on anything.
Integration is scoped as plumbing and discovered late as the critical path. Every platform programme has the same moment: two teams built to the same interface specification, read it differently, and nobody found out until system test. The people who prevent that are not the ones who know a product, they are the ones who ask which system owns the record before anyone opens a mapping document.
We screen integration specialists on the awkward parts. Error handling and replay when a downstream system is unavailable for a day, idempotency on a message that will arrive twice, contract versioning when a consumer cannot upgrade, and what they did the last time a cutover had to be reversed with interfaces half-migrated.
