Embedding the capability tightly into your organisation
We know that integration isn’t all about the technology. In fact, at Wheeve we tend to talk about People, Process and then Technology. If you don’t have the right skills in place and the people responsible for delivering integration don’t have clear processes to follow, you end up with more spaghetti.
There is no “one-size-fits-all” solution. What’s right for you will depend on your wider organisational processes, methodologies and cultures. Don’t make the mistake of blindly implementing a “best practice” design without making sure it works in your context.
Our consultants have worked with many organisations to deliver a wide range of operating models, from centralised build factories to distributed tribes of API developers. We know what works and what doesn’t. Let us help you deliver an efficient, effective integration solution for your needs.
What We Do

Our consultants take the time to understand your wider IT and business operating model, enabling us to design an integration delivery model that fits well with your existing processes and methodologies.
2. DESIGN
We will work with you to design all aspects of the operating model, from team structures and responsibilities to governance processes and operational metrics.
3. TEST
We road test the processes and procedures on trial projects and tune the materials to ensure they best fit with the wider organisation.
4. EMBED
We work across the organisation to embed the new model using communications and training techniques to ensure the wider community fully understand and commit to the changes that we have made.
