Patterns for Enterprise Integration

cleaver

We’ve all seen web projects that failed to deliver on their promises or went seriously over time or over budget. With Drupal leading in the enterprise for open source content management, the risks can have an even larger impact. Over 40% of large scale projects will fail to meet expectations. Governments have lost millions and corporations have been ruined because of failed enterprise software projects. The rewards of integrating Drupal with enterprise systems are great, but the potential risks and negative fallout are magnified.

There are steps we can follow to reduce the risks of enterprise integration and deliver projects that meet requirements, are on time, and on budget. Taking lessons learned from an ambitious project that integrated Drupal with live data for 30,000 members, we look at some of the patterns that will ensure success.

  • Organizational obstacles
  • Agile development
  • Tools for visualizing successful integration
  • API design and testing
  • Synchronous vs. asynchronous
  • Decoupling for better performance
  • Optimization cycles
