Solution — Integration

Connect the systems that run your business

AO designs and implements secure integrations that allow enterprise applications, partners and data platforms to work together. We connect systems of record, digital channels, payment services, external providers and operational platforms through governed APIs and event-driven architectures.

The challenge

What organisations need to overcome

Modern organisations depend on many internal and external systems. Point-to-point integrations, manual file transfers and duplicated data create brittle processes, security risk and operational delay. Integration must be treated as an enterprise capability rather than a series of isolated technical connections.

FAQs

Frequently asked

Can AO integrate legacy systems?

Yes. Where modern interfaces do not exist we work with files, database-level patterns, middleware or wrapper services, and stabilise the flow with monitoring and error handling.

Does AO build APIs?

Yes. We design and build secure REST and event-based APIs, including versioning, authentication, rate limiting and documentation.

Which external platforms has AO integrated?

Approved examples include Experian South Africa, XDS, DebiCheck, Adumo, Sage South Africa, Uber and the Google Maps Platform.

How does AO monitor integrations?

Through logging, alerting, retry and dead-letter handling, and operational dashboards so failures are detected and resolved before they affect the business.
