Capability
Automation and Systems Integration
Data movement and workflow automation between systems that were never designed to work together.
The problem
Work slows down at the seams. Data is re-keyed between systems, files move by email, and a recurring report takes a person a day every month. Each individual step is small; together they consume a meaningful share of staff capacity and introduce errors that are hard to trace.
Typical technologies
- Python
- Apache Airflow
- AWS Lambda
- Event-driven queues
- SQL
- REST and SOAP integrations
- SFTP workflows
What we deliver
- Data processing pipelines for scheduled, event-driven, and batch workloads
- Workflow automation across applications, file drops, and databases
- Integrations with existing government and commercial systems through documented APIs
- Data validation, normalization, and reconciliation between sources
- Document and form processing workflows
- Scheduled reporting and distribution
- Error handling, retry logic, and alerting so failures are visible rather than silent
Examples of project types
These describe the kind of work we take on. They are illustrative scopes, not descriptions of completed client projects.
- A pipeline that moves records between two systems on a schedule, validates them, and reports exceptions instead of failing quietly
- An automated version of a recurring manual report, including the checks a person currently performs by eye
- An integration that replaces a re-keying step between an intake system and a system of record
- A file-processing workflow that ingests submissions, validates format and content, and routes exceptions for review
Expected outcome
Repetitive handling disappears from staff workload, data stays consistent across systems, and failures surface as alerts rather than as discoveries weeks later.

Questions
Automation and Systems Integration: common questions
What processes are good candidates for automation?
High-volume, rules-driven work that people re-key between systems: intake, data entry, status updates, notifications, reconciliation, and document routing. The test is whether the steps can be written down and checked.
Do you replace existing systems?
Usually not. Integration connects what is already in place through APIs, file exchanges, or event streams, so the system of record stays the system of record.
How do you keep automated decisions accountable?
Every automated action is logged, exceptions go to a person, and a reviewer can override any decision — automation removes repetitive work, not responsibility.
