API & System Integrations

Design and deliver secure, reliable integrations between Microsoft 365, Azure, and line-of-business systems - APIs, events, workflows, and data exchanges that are supportable in production.

Integrations are where most digital programmes either accelerate or stall. When systems don’t talk cleanly - identity, data, and processes fracture across departments, manual work increases, and reporting becomes unreliable. Microsoft positions Azure Integration Services as a portfolio that brings together services such as API Management, Logic Apps, Service Bus, and Event Grid to integrate applications, data, and processes across cloud and on‑prem environments.
LW IT Solutions delivers integrations as a product, not a one-off script. We design the integration architecture, implement APIs and workflows with appropriate security and observability, and establish an operational model so changes are governed, failures are visible, and support is predictable. Whether you need Microsoft Graph integration, Dynamics 365 integration, event-driven processing, or workflow automation across multiple platforms, the goal is the same: a robust integration layer that reduces manual work, improves data consistency, and enables safe, measurable change.

Service Overview

Highlights

  • API, workflow, and event-driven integration patterns selected to fit the use case
  • Secure authentication and access control aligned to your identity model
  • Operational visibility with structured logging, tracing, and alerting
  • Resilience features such as retries, dead-letter handling, and replay where applicable
  • Documentation and governance so integrations remain supportable as systems change

Business Benefits

  • Reduced manual effort by automating cross-system processes and data movement
  • More reliable operations through managed retries, error handling, and clear failure visibility
  • Improved security and control using governed authentication, authorisation, and API boundaries
  • Better data consistency by standardising contracts, mappings, and integration patterns
  • Predictable support through monitoring, runbooks, and defined ownership

Typical use cases

  • Connecting Microsoft 365, Azure, or Dynamics 365 to line-of-business systems
  • Replacing fragile point-to-point scripts with a managed integration layer
  • Automating onboarding, approvals, or fulfilment processes across multiple systems
  • Event-driven integrations to decouple systems and reduce dependency bottlenecks
  • Improving reliability where integrations fail silently or require manual intervention

Objectives & deliverables

What Success Looks Like

  • Expose and govern business capabilities via secure APIs (internal and/or partner-facing)
  • Automate cross-system business processes with clear ownership and auditability
  • Move from point-to-point scripts to a managed integration architecture
  • Enable event-driven processing (publish/subscribe) to decouple systems and improve resilience
  • Improve data quality and visibility by standardising integration patterns and error handling

What You Get

  • Integration architecture pack (patterns, boundaries, data flows, and security model)
  • Implemented integration(s): APIs, workflows, and/or event processing as scoped
  • Operational artefacts: monitoring/alerting, runbooks, support processes, and ownership model
  • Documentation: endpoint contracts, workflow diagrams, configuration notes, and change guidance
  • Backlog: recommended improvements, scaling options, and future integration opportunities

How It Works

  1. Discovery - confirm systems, integration outcomes, constraints, and operational ownership.
  2. Design - select patterns, define contracts, data flows, and security approach.
  3. Build - implement integrations with robust error handling, retries, and logging.
  4. Validate - test functional flow, non-functional behaviours (timeouts, retries), and security controls.
  5. Operationalise - configure monitoring/alerting, create runbooks, and establish change governance.
  6. Handover - knowledge transfer and next-step backlog for enhancements and optimisation.

Engagement Options

  • Integration Build - Implement a defined integration between systems with production-ready operations
  • Integration Architecture - Design patterns, contracts, and governance before implementation
  • Stabilisation - Improve reliability and supportability of existing integrations and workflows
  • Retained Support - Ongoing change and support for an integration layer with agreed cadence and SLAs
