Point-to-point integrations
Every new application adds fragile links that nobody controls any more.
EXPERTISE · INTEGRATION & ORCHESTRATION
IT systems
that work together.
API management, enterprise service buses, event-driven messaging and process automation: we connect your applications, your partners and your processes.
WHY IT’S CRITICAL
An instant payment involves more than five systems in under ten seconds. Without a conductor, it’s chaos.
Your core system speaks its own language. Outside, instant payments speak ISO 20022, fintechs speak REST, and your customers speak mobile. We design the layer that translates, orchestrates and protects, without replacing what works.
We have done it for BCEAO interoperability, for mediation buses in production at operators, and for banking process automation.
THE CHALLENGES
What we
often hear.
APIs exposed without governance
Without control over access, quotas and usage, every API becomes an open door.
Processes still on paper
Opening an account takes three days and five signatures: the process is holding back digitalisation.
WHAT WE DO
What we
take on.
Services that combine to fit your context, from scoping to operations.
API management
Developer portal, sandbox, quotas and security for APIs exposed to partners and fintechs.
- WSO2 API Manager, Kong
- Partner onboarding
Service bus and mediation
Orchestration of critical transaction flows between applications.
- ESB, integration microservices
- Flow tracking
Event-driven architecture
Systems publish events and react in real time.
- Kafka, RabbitMQ, Redis Streams
- Anti-fraud, notifications, data
Process automation
Model and execute business workflows end to end.
- BPMN: Camunda, Bonita, W4
- Lead-time KPIs
Operational orchestration
Internal flows, notifications, file exchanges, without heavy development.
- n8n, Apache Camel
- ETL and scheduled jobs
Payment interoperability
Connection to interoperability systems and instant payments.
- BCEAO interoperability
- ISO 20022

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What we’re
often asked.
Do we need to replace our core banking system?
Rarely. The integration layer opens up the core system without replacing it: it keeps doing what it does well, and the middleware handles the rest.
ESB or microservices?
Both have their place: an ESB or integration microservices for critical transaction flows, and tools such as n8n for less critical internal orchestration.
And when an application has no API?
We use software robots (RPA) as a temporary bridge while the application is modernised.
