Details where the tasks of Integration Engineering fit within the confines of pricing application, Pricefx platform, and project methodology. This area will include the following sub-divisions:

 

 

Role within pricing application

  • For each pricing, the application is important to work with fresh master data, exchange rates, competition information, etc… from ERP’s, CRM’s and another system.

  • Without this information and data is not possible to calculate prices, promotions, etc…

  • The automatical integration is why how to deliver and also export data to and from PFX. For this, we are using our Integration Manager.

Integration with Data Readiness Practice

  • One important thing is consistent integration. It is necessary to receive and produce records with values in the same format and structure. Then the integration can work well. For example format of date or date-time, CSV separator or delimiter, encoding of files should be the same in all resources.

  • All these best practices should be applied during the development and testing phase of the project

Goals, Objectives, and Deliverables of IE role

  • IE is responsible for the development, testing, deployment, and maintenance ensuring integration of PFX with customer’s systems.

  • The diversity of customers’ technologies creates big demands on IE knowledge and experiences.

  • Each project’s solution depends on specific customer requirements and requires the cooperation of the entire team.
