FAQs
Your Integration Questions, Answered
Q: How do you handle security in enterprise integrations, especially with legacy systems?
We implement defense-in-depth security with API gateways for threat protection, OAuth 2.0 for authentication, encryption for data in transit/rest, and network segmentation for legacy system protection.
Q: What's the difference between SOA and API-led integration?
SOA focuses on enterprise service bus and SOAP web services for system-to-system integration, while API-led connectivity emphasizes RESTful APIs, microservices, and business capability exposure for both internal and external consumption.
Q: How do you ensure integration platform performance and scalability?
We conduct performance testing, implement horizontal scaling, use message queuing for load leveling, and establish monitoring with alerting for proactive performance management.
Q: Can we integrate cloud applications with our on-premises systems securely?
Absolutely. We use hybrid integration platforms, establish secure connectivity through VPN or ExpressRoute, and implement robust authentication and authorization mechanisms.
