Integrations

Connect the systems. Keep the work moving.

When the same information is entered twice, updates get missed and ownership becomes unclear. We design integrations around the handover, so each system plays a clear part in the process.

Start with the handover

Less copying. Clearer responsibility.

We assess the available interfaces, permissions and constraints before proposing a solution. The right approach depends on the systems involved and the information that needs to flow.

01

Requests into the right workflow

Explore connections from intranet forms, customer-facing systems or other request channels into Jira Service Management, with purposeful fields and a clear route to the responsible team.

02

Information where it is needed

Plan how relevant customer, company, asset or service data should reach the people handling the work. Agree ownership and update rules before connecting the records.

03

Updates beyond the ticket

Connect work to reporting, documents or other downstream activities. Define what triggers an update, what it contains and who needs to know if it fails.

Designed for real operation

The difficult part is what happens between systems.

A successful demonstration is a start. A dependable integration also needs to handle incomplete information, repeated events, changing permissions and unavailable services.

We make those decisions part of the design, with an approach your team can understand and maintain.

  • Ownership and directionIdentify the authoritative source for each field, the direction of updates and how conflicts should be resolved.
  • Matching and validationAgree how records are identified and mapped, which data is required and how duplicates or incomplete records are handled.
  • Access and data handlingDefine the minimum access needed, the information being transferred and the requirements for credentials, retention and audit.
  • Failure and recoveryDecide what is logged, when a retry is appropriate, who is alerted and how a failed handover can be investigated safely.
  • Support and changeDocument the connection, assign an owner and agree how changes to either system will be assessed and tested.

A proportionate approach

Use the simplest option that meets the need.

We consider native features, established apps and APIs against your requirements. Any additional licensing, hosting or ongoing maintenance is made clear as part of the proposed scope.

  1. 01

    Map the process

    Follow a real example and identify the handover, data and owners on each side.

  2. 02

    Prove the connection

    Check access and interfaces, then test a small, representative flow before extending it.

  3. 03

    Test the exceptions

    Check validation, duplicates, failure handling and recovery as well as the expected route.

  4. 04

    Release and hand over

    Agree deployment, monitoring, documentation and who will support the connection.

One-off move or ongoing connection? Moving historical data and keeping systems in sync are different pieces of work. We define them separately so the scope, testing and support are clear. Explore migrations and upgrades →
