At Sirma, we specialize in delivering top-tier System Integration services, ensuring optimal performance while maintaining stringent project budget controls.
Sirma System Integration has been on the forefront of successfully and cost-effectively tackling large real-world system integration challenges, which continue to become more and more complex due to several key factors.
Virtualization and cloud computing require new, more complex deployment models like hybrid clouds that integrate private infrastructure with public cloud services. This provides flexibility but also introduces challenges around access controls, network integration, data movement, and system monitoring across cloud boundaries.
Cybersecurity threats have increased exponentially, requiring robust access controls, encryption, network segregation, and security monitoring to protect systems and data. Integrating security tools and policies across hybrid environments is difficult. Regulatory compliance adds further complexity such as implementing controls and governance for data location, access restrictions, and breach notification laws that vary across jurisdictions.
Rapidly growing data volumes and sources require scalable and high-performance data integration. This includes challenges like ETL processing, data quality management, master data management, and unstructured data integration across disparate databases, apps, APIs, IoT devices, and other systems. Managing integrated views of critical data is complex.
Region-specific regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, PIPEDA add complexity around data privacy, residency, right-to-be-forgotten, and cross-border data flows. Determining data residency, mapping data flows across apps and systems, implementing compliance controls, and maintaining audit trails is extremely challenging in complex hybrid environments.
The distributed nature of hybrid cloud and multi-cloud environments requires integrating identity, access, security, and infrastructure management across systems. Single sign-on, access governance, key management, policy orchestration, backup, disaster recovery, and monitoring all become complex in hybrid environments with no single pane of glass.
