How to Make Your Enterprise Systems Twice as Effective
When doing custom integrations there are a number of questions to ask and planning is crucial. Custom integration projects can quickly become nightmares if the proper steps are not taken prior to laying any code. We love taking on these challenges here at Achieve, and we always approach them with the same strategy that ensures these projects result in successful deployments.
Drupal integrations can range from simple one-way communication to sophisticated continuous synchronization between your platforms, which is why a successful integration project requires advanced understanding of the underlying technology, Drupal expertise, and a calculated approach to planning, implementing, and following through on the tasks at hand. We will cover the strategy that we find most effective for integration projects along with the functional and technical methods to put them to place.
