Interface & Report Factory

Overview

Common risks of interface integration efforts include: high cost and resource demands, endless testing, lack of control and inability to manage the development effort. Based on our depth of experience , we have developed mitigating strategies to address these risks and ensure the project is on-time, within budget and of the highest quality.

Interface and Report Accelerator

Our interface and report methodology has been honed over many years of system integration projects. The methodology covers all phases of interface development and system integration projects. It includes a series of tools and templates that help us deliver scalable, repeatable project components.

Our methodology is a 5 step iterative cycle:

Extract
Convert
Test
Validate
Fix

We repeat this cycle refining and correcting the data. This process enables timely benchmarking and progress reporting of the data conversion activities. Our deliverables include:

data maps
on-going management of interface and report issues and implementation of mitigation strategies as necessary
automated generation of interface and report code
executable interfaces and reports
management dashboard

Interface & Report Factory Tools

Our suite of tools brings power, flexibility, speed and simplicity to your data transformation tasks. The tools identify business gaps quickly and avoid redundant analysis; enable early detection, analysis and resolution of problems, and support quick iterative development and efficient cycle processing.
