Often two separate systems need to exchange data, but were not designed to do so. Many times a manual process exists for facilitating data exchange, such as re-keying data from printouts or using email. Many motivations exist for having a seamless integration between the systems, such as:

• Reducing the effort dedicated to manual data exchange, freeing up staff for more productive tasks
• Eliminating human errors introduced into the process
• Increasing the speed of communication between the systems, and handle large transaction volumes
• Facilitating reporting and forecasting only possible with aggregated data

Syrinx can link disparate systems together for you using a wide array of techniques:

• XML (Web Services or file-based)
• Batch or real time database synchronization
• Custom network applications
• CORBA
• Messaging/Queuing middleware
• Delimited/fixed width flat files

Syrinx can also help you plan the process for a smooth transition to integrated systems. Many teams plan an "all at once" or an "all or nothing" integration strategy. We favor incremental rollouts to minimize risk, downtime, and complexity of rollback plans. We can help you migrate your existing data and plan for real time or batched updates. We can also help you plan migrations from old systems to new ones.
