Integration architecture for systems that have to keep talking.

Ordinex helps organisations understand, de-risk and modernise the integrations between their ERP, CRM and legacy platforms, before those integrations become the reason a programme stalls.

An integration landscape: ERP, CRM, legacy services and partner APIs connected through an integration layer, with one flagged risk on a legacy link.

Most programmes find out what their integrations really do when something breaks. Discovery finds out first.

What we do

Three services, one specialism. Every engagement focuses on the connections between systems: what they carry, how reliably, and what it would take to change them safely.

  • Integration discovery and health checks

    Know what is running before you change it.

    We map what is actually running: services, scheduled jobs, stored procedures, file transfers and the dependencies nobody wrote down. We also assess the security and POPIA exposure they carry. The work follows OIDM, our structured discovery method.

    You receive

    • Landscape report
    • Scored risk register
    • Readiness assessment
  • Integration architecture and API strategy

    Integrations designed to hold up in production.

    We design integration platforms and APIs that hold up in production: secure B2B access, separate tiers for different API consumers, clear error handling and infrastructure defined as code. Our depth is in the Microsoft stack.

    Platforms

    • Dynamics 365 CE
    • Dataverse
    • Azure API Management
    • Logic Apps
    • Service Bus
  • Legacy integration modernisation

    A safe route off ageing integration platforms.

    We take ageing integration estates, such as WCF services, Windows services and logic embedded in SQL Server or Oracle databases, and plan a safe route to a modern platform, in a sequence that keeps the business running throughout.

    You receive

    • Migration playbook
    • Transformation mapping
    • Sequenced roadmap

How an engagement runs

Short, scoped phases with a clear output at each step. You can stop after any one of them and still have something useful.

  1. Discover

    Inventory the integrations and gather the evidence: code, configuration, schedules and the people who know them.

  2. Assess

    Score the risks, flag the blockers and say plainly what is fit to carry forward and what is not.

  3. Design

    Define the target architecture, the patterns to standardise on and the order to change things in.

  4. Deliver

    Guide the build with your team or delivery partner, and hand over documentation that outlives the engagement.
