Integrations, which connect multiple systems for data exchange, present significant challenges due to differences in databases, authentication methods, and APIs. Properly defining integration requirements is crucial for accelerating time-to-market, reducing costs, and ensuring user satisfaction. These requirements detail the expected functionality of an integration and are essential for establishing a clear scope among stakeholders. Without them, development can become chaotic, leading to poor user experiences, higher costs, and systems that are not scalable. Integration requests often come through various channels, and prioritizing these requests before gathering detailed specifications is vital. Key integration terms such as API, connector, and trigger must be understood by all parties to avoid miscommunications. Gathering comprehensive requirements involves understanding triggers, data transfer methods, authentication, APIs, and necessary data modifications. Engaging end users and technical partners, identifying corner cases, and considering differences among customers are important steps in the requirements-gathering process. Utilizing an embedded Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) can enhance integration development and support by providing tools for rapid response, low-code design, and collaboration with existing development processes.
