RECORDS
Data disagrees across systems
The same data appears in multiple systems with inconsistent values and unclear sources of record.
SOLUTION / SYSTEMS INTEGRATION & DATA ARCHITECTURE
Connect your systems around reliable project and financial data
Define where data belongs, connect the applications that need it and make exceptions visible, with ownership agreed from the start.

THE OPERATING QUESTION
For firms running on systems that do not talk.
As firms grow, systems accumulate around specific requirements. Over time, information can become fragmented across platforms, creating duplicated work, inconsistent definitions, and recurring reconciliation. Rhodium Digital assesses the environment and designs the architecture around clear sources of record and governed information flows.
01 / SIGNALS
RD / SIA / 01
Where information stops, work starts again.
HANDOFFS
Manual re-keying between platforms
The team manually moves information between systems because the integration that should exist does not, or no longer works.
REPORTING
Reporting is unreliable
Reporting requires recurring reconciliation because underlying definitions and values differ across systems.
CHANGE
Adding a new system
A new platform is being added and the integration question cannot be avoided any longer.
GROWTH
Acquisitions left overlap
Growth or acquisition has introduced overlapping platforms without a defined consolidation or integration plan.
OWNERSHIP
No source of record
It is unclear which system owns which data, and that ambiguity is producing real operational and reporting problems.
Decisions made early in an integration affect maintainability, ownership, exception handling, and the effort required as systems change.
THE OPERATING SHIFT
From accumulation to architecture
As systems accumulate, the architecture may no longer reflect how the firm operates, shares information, or assigns ownership.
Integration work defines sources of record, business rules, ownership, and how information moves between the applications included in scope.
02 / RHODIUM DIGITAL SERVICES
Define the architecture. Make the handoffs accountable.
Rhodium Digital works across assessment, design, implementation and governance. The priorities depend on which records, applications and processes need to work together.

RD / SIA / A-01
Architecture mapping
Document the current systems environment, dependencies, ownership, and points of failure. That current-state view informs the architecture and sequencing decisions that follow.
Applications, dependencies and manual handoffs
Sources of record and conflicting definitions
Data ownership and points of failure
SCOPE DECISION
Which systems and information flows need attention first?
RD / SIA / B-02
Integration design
Decide which systems are sources of record, which consume data, and how consistency is maintained. The architecture decisions, made deliberately.
Direction, timing and record ownership
Validation and exception requirements
The systems that create and consume each record
SCOPE DECISION
Who owns each record, and what happens when information is incomplete?
RD / SIA / C-03
Implementation
Build and validate the connections, including monitoring requirements, exception handling, ownership, and change control.
Connections across the applications in scope
Testing against data and workflow requirements
Deployment, monitoring and change requirements
SCOPE DECISION
What must be validated before a connection moves into operation?
RD / SIA / D-04
Data governance
Establish the rules and ownership that keep the architecture coherent as the firm and its systems evolve.
Shared definitions and sources of record
Responsibility for reviewing exceptions
Change control as systems and requirements evolve
SCOPE DECISION
Who will own the architecture, changes and exceptions after deployment?
These service areas inform the scope discussion. Activities, priorities, responsibilities and ongoing services are agreed for each engagement.
03 / HOW WE WORK
RD / SIA / 03
FROM REQUIREMENT TO DAILY USE
A practical route, shaped by your requirements.
The starting point, sequence and scope reflect your current environment and priorities.
01
Discover
Map the systems, sources of record, ownership, and data movement. Identify breakpoints, manual interventions, validation requirements, and exceptions.
02
Design
Decide the target architecture. Sources of record, integration points, data ownership, and the rules that keep it consistent.
03
Build and govern
Implement the connections, tested against real data and workflows. Then put ownership in place, because the architecture stays coherent only if someone is responsible for keeping it that way.
RHODIUM DIGITAL / POINT OF VIEW
Integration needs ownership.
Integration earns its place when the cost of inconsistency starts to outweigh the cost of fixing it.
Rhodium Digital · Systems Integration & Data Architecture
BEFORE WE TALK
Questions that shape the scope.
Does this require replacing our existing systems?
Not automatically. Rhodium Digital assesses the current architecture before recommending integration or consolidation. Existing systems, dependencies and operating requirements shape the decision.
Is this the same as a Workato engagement?
No. Integration and data architecture describe the consulting and delivery work. Workato is one enabling platform, and FORGED is a distinct managed integration solution powered by Workato.
Who manages the connections afterwards?
Ownership, monitoring and change responsibilities are agreed as part of the scope. Any ongoing Rhodium Digital services are defined separately from the initial implementation.
