Integration&Collaboration

Why?

Most Haufe Group applications are designed as stand alone solutions. Especially in domains where Haufe Group offers multiple solutions targeting the same customer group, collaboration of the solutions is a crucial selling point. Currently the applications do not fully exploit their potential of collaboration to optimally support customers in their work processes. Solution collaboration starts with a common login includes exchange of data, harmonised user interface and support of useful work processes that are not possible with a single solution.

It is a technical challenge to achieve that goal. Monolithic applications are definitely not the answer. Highly aligned, loosely coupled is a leading principal for the collaboration solution architecture. Small focused applications and teams that provide their business value via API and a set of integration patterns are our approach.

Moving from monolithic, tightly integrated platform products to a portfolio of highly aligned, loosely coupled products requires a different product collaboration paradigm, best described in ‘Building Microservices’ (Sam Newman) chapter on Implementing Asynchronous Event-Based Collaboration. Other concepts would be async vs sync, and orchestration vs choreography, dumb networks and smart endpoints etc.
