Business context
Integrations connect the ERP with other business applications, cloud services and trading partners. Reference diagrams and clear interface responsibilities help teams build and run them consistently.

- Reviewed integration patterns and interface responsibilities.

Responsibilities in detail
EDI
- Prepare EDI reference architecture diagrams
- Evaluate partner onboarding and testing needs
- Evaluate monitoring and operational support needs
Integration landscape
- Document application-to-application integration patterns
- Review interface responsibilities and ownership
The approach
I treat EDI and application integration as one landscape. Reference diagrams come first, so that everyone works from the same picture of which system sends what, through which layer, and who owns each interface.
Architecture questions addressed
- Which integration pattern and layer each kind of flow should use.
- What partner onboarding and testing require.
- What monitoring and operational support the integrations need, and who owns them.
