APIs and webhooks
Synchronous requests, event callbacks, authentication, versioning, idempotency, throttling, and error contracts.
systems integration
Make the handoff between systems trustworthy.
A responsible integration does more than move data. It defines ownership, mapping, timing, retries, reconciliation, security, observability, and what people should do when a vendor or record fails. Stackporch designs that complete operating boundary.
when to call
The systems work separately. The operation does not.
- Employees re-enter the same customer, job, order, or financial data.
- CSV exports and spreadsheets are the only bridge between systems.
- Microsoft 365, line-of-business software, and reporting disagree about ownership or status.
- A vendor API exists, but errors, retries, rate limits, and changed contracts are not governed.
- Completed work waits before approval, invoicing, reporting, or collection.
- Nobody can reconcile what was sent, received, rejected, duplicated, or corrected.
integration patterns
Use the simplest boundary the operation can trust.
Events and durable workflows
Asynchronous handoffs, queues, retries, long-running processes, human approvals, and observable state.
Files and batch exchange
Scheduled exports, secure transfer, mapping, validation, replay, acknowledgements, and controlled backfills.
Microsoft and cloud systems
Microsoft 365, Entra, SharePoint, Teams, Azure, AWS, data platforms, vendor applications, and custom services.
the reliability contract
Every failed handoff needs an owner and a recovery path.
ContractSource of truth, fields, meaning, security, version, frequency, latency, and retention.
ControlValidation, deduplication, idempotency, authorization, rate limits, and data minimization.
EvidenceTraceable runs, reconciliation totals, failures, alerts, retries, corrections, and responsible owners.
RecoveryReplay, backfill, vendor outage behavior, manual exception workflow, and exit plan.

Integration & Workflow Assessment
Receive the current-state flow, systems and owner inventory, contract and failure analysis, option comparison, smallest responsible phase, acceptance criteria, and measurement plan.
The assessment is fixed-scope and fixed-price. Stackporch’s $200/hour rate card builds the price after the systems and evidence requirements are understood.
