Information is copied from one system into another.
Disconnected systems
If people are doing the work that systems should do between themselves, start there.
Copying data, repeating searches, downloading files and re-entering the same information are often symptoms of a process that has grown around disconnected systems.
Typical friction
The integration problem is usually visible in what people have to do manually.
The same search is repeated across several portals.
Teams download files only to upload them somewhere else.
Status checks require opening multiple systems.
Errors happen because one manual step was missed.
People have become the integration layer.
What we decide
Not every disconnected system needs a major integration project.
01
Map where data or actions cross system boundaries.
02
Measure frequency, effort, risk and dependency.
03
Decide whether the right answer is integration, automation, a consolidated interface or process change.
04
Build only what removes enough friction to justify the change.
Your people should not be the API.
Show us where the handoffs happen and we will map the options.
