System Integration
Connect existing applications so related business work can move between them.
Codithic Solution
When systems cannot share one operational workflow.
Many businesses already run important work across separate applications. This solution focuses on the business problem: connecting those systems so operational work can move across the landscape, and modernizing applications that block necessary change.
What this solution addresses
Business outcomes through connected, evolving applications
The goal is practical operational continuity: related work can move between systems, and applications that need to change can evolve without assuming a full replacement. Codithic delivers this through its Integration & Modernization service capabilities. A requirement may call for integration, modernization, or both.
API Integration
Connect applications through defined interfaces so a workflow can share the information it needs.
Application Modernization
Improve an existing application so it can keep supporting changing business needs.
Legacy Modernization
Evolve an older application when change creates value for the business.
Platform Enhancement
Extend an existing platform with the capabilities the business needs.
Technology Upgrades
Update application technology when a current direction fits the requirement.
Application Evolution
Make focused changes so an application can keep evolving with the business.
Connect. Modernize. Or do both.
A business can connect the systems a workflow already uses, modernize an application that needs to change, or do both in one engagement.
Connect
Link applications and data so work can move across systems that already exist. Each system keeps its current responsibilities.
Modernize
Improve or evolve an existing application or technology foundation so it can keep supporting the business.
Connect + Modernize
Connect the systems a workflow depends on, and modernize the applications that need to change, in the same engagement.
Approach
From current landscape to evolved technology
An engagement can move through these stages. The order and depth follow the requirement.
Conceptual sequence: Assess, Map, Design, Integrate or Modernize, Validate, Implement, and Evolve. The order and depth follow the requirement.
- 01
Assess
Understand the applications and technology already in use.
- 02
Map
Trace how those applications relate to the workflows they support.
- 03
Design
Define an integration or modernization direction for the requirement.
- 04
Integrate / Modernize
Carry out the integration or modernization work that was agreed.
- 05
Validate
Check the result against the intended workflow.
- 06
Implement
Put the agreed changes into the operating environment.
- 07
Evolve
Continue improving the landscape as requirements change.
Each engagement uses the stages that fit its scope.
Work with the systems already around the business
Both paths start from systems the business already uses. They are different kinds of work, and the steps below are conceptual.
Integration
Connect applications and data so a workflow can move between them. Each existing system keeps its current responsibilities.
Conceptual integration path: Application A, Integration Layer, Application B, then Business Workflow.
- 01Application A
- 02Integration Layer
- 03Application B
- 04Business Workflow
Modernization
Improve or evolve an existing application or technology foundation so it can keep supporting the business.
Conceptual modernization path: Existing Application, Modernization, Enhanced Application, then Evolving Business Needs.
- 01Existing Application
- 02Modernization
- 03Enhanced Application
- 04Evolving Business Needs
Connect applications around the workflow
This is how connected applications support one business workflow: relate the systems the work depends on, keep that work moving, check the result, and adjust the connection as the workflow changes.
Conceptual stages: Connect, Coordinate, Validate, and Evolve.
- 01
Connect
Bring the applications that support a workflow into a defined relationship.
- 02
Coordinate
Keep related work moving across those applications.
- 03
Validate
Confirm the connected workflow against the intended business process.
- 04
Evolve
Adjust the connection as the workflow and applications change.
Improve existing software without losing sight of the business
Practical evolution can mean a targeted enhancement, a technology upgrade, or a broader change to an existing application. The path follows the business requirement.
Application Modernization
Change the parts of an application that no longer fit the direction the business needs.
Technology Upgrades
Move supporting technology forward when a newer direction fits the application.
Legacy Modernization
Bring an older application forward where keeping it in place still matters to the business.
Platform Enhancement
Add a needed capability to a platform the business already runs.
Application Evolution
Keep making focused improvements as business needs continue to change.
Modernize the landscape while keeping workflows connected
Parts of an application landscape can change while the workflows that still depend on them stay connected. The sequence is conceptual and follows the requirement.
Conceptual flow: Existing Systems, Integration, Modernized Applications, Connected Workflow, then Evolving Technology Landscape.
- 01Existing Systems
- 02Integration
- 03Modernized Applications
- 04Connected Workflow
- 05Evolving Technology Landscape
Connections stay in place where the business still depends on them. Migration scope and compatibility are confirmed for the requirement.
A product built around connected operational needs
Integration and modernization can support the business applications and operational workflows an organization already uses. Codithic DMS is one current product example: a backend and core management platform that brings operational capabilities together.
The areas below illustrate the current Codithic DMS product. An engagement includes the capabilities the requirement needs.
Codithic DMS brings operational capabilities together as a connected business platform. The example is illustrative of the current product.
- Master Data
- Planning
- Order Management
- Inventory
- Delivery
- Collection
- Returns / Replacements
- Reconciliation
- Reports
- Administration
Improve what already exists
Existing applications can be customized, enhanced, upgraded, or modernized according to the requirement. This work connects with Software Engineering.
Customization
Adapt an existing application to a specific business requirement.
Enhancement
Improve an existing application with focused changes.
Technology Upgrade
Move existing application technology toward a suitable current direction.
Modernization
Evolve an existing application so it can continue to support the business.
Modernization should fit the technology landscape
Requirements may apply across distribution and field operations as well as broader business applications.
Relevant business contexts
- FMCG / Distribution
- Dairy
- Beverage
- Pharma
- General Distribution
Business Value
Connected systems. Evolving applications. Practical change.
Connected Workflows
Keep related business work moving across the applications that support it.
Application Continuity
Improve applications while the business workflows they support remain in view.
Technology Evolution
Evolve applications and platforms as business and technology requirements change.
Practical Engineering
Shape integration and modernization around the requirement in front of the business.
Standard product. Supported configuration. Business-specific customization.
A standard product can be the starting point. Supported configuration and business-specific customization adapt the solution to the requirement.
Standard Product. Supported Configuration. Business-Specific Customization
