Platform Integration
Connect the tools without losing control of the information.
Make the handoff between systems clear: what moves, when it moves, which system owns it, and what happens if the connection fails.
A connection needs rules, not just credentials.
Different types of information may need different owners.
System of record
The agreed place where a value is created or authoritatively maintained.
Working copy
Information another system needs to support its task, with clear update rules.
Define the parts that usually get missed.
The successful path is only part of the integration.
- 01
Identity and mapping
Match records reliably and preserve their relationships.
- 02
Timing and conflicts
Decide how updates, duplicates, and competing changes are handled.
- 03
Errors and retries
Make failed transfers visible and recoverable.
- 04
Access and ownership
Use appropriate permissions and document who maintains the connection.
Keep the business purpose visible.
A technical connection should improve a real workflow, such as getting an inquiry to the right person or making order context available to service.

Should every system sync both ways?
No. Bidirectional syncing can create conflicts when ownership is unclear. We decide the direction and rules for each type of information rather than treating two-way sync as the default.
