How often do you get to work on completely isolated systems? It is seemingly more and more common that your system needs to talk to another system to function, whether that be a legacy system, an external API or even one that has not been developed yet. Every system that you talk to adds risk to your project; technical risk, quality risk and delivery risk. But never fear - help is at hand.

Come to this talk and you will hear about how to design your system to decrease this risk, how to ensure the quality of the overall system and how to manage the successful delivery of the system. Not only that, but you will hear real-life cases, some success stories but also many failures and you too can learn from the mistakes I witnessed. Have questions around the integration points in your ecosystem? Fire them up, and lets see if we can work through them together.
