Should my Magento and IBM i integration be real-time or batch?
Should my Magento and IBM i integration be real-time or batch?
The real answer is it depends on the integration point. Real-time integration is always the preferred approach and for certain integration points it is basically a requirement - Inventory Availability and B2B Pricing. For other integration points, like Catalog Data and B2B Customer Data a batch integration approach can be used.
Will integrating Magento and IBM i cause data integrity issues within my ERP data?
Will integrating Magento and IBM i cause data integrity issues within my ERP data?
No, we always architect the integration around the premise that IBM i is the system of record for all data and Magento is a consumer of that data. This ensures that the data is kept pristine within the ERP and that Magento is simply a consumer of that data. When inserting data into the IBM i /AS 400, we will leverage any existing processes or APIs for order creation. This keeps everything streamlined with current processes. As needed, we create a new API process for inserting data / orders into the IBM i database..
Best Practices: Maintain the Business Logic
Best Practices: Maintain the Business Logic
Sometimes the eCommerce system and the ERP can store the same data, in order to avoid duplication and redundancies, choose either the
IBM i/AS400 or Magento to house specific data. Consider the business logic required to process an eCom order and decide which system would do a better job handling that process. Whatever your answer is, that's the system that should "own" the data.
Best Practices: Get the Sales Team Involved
Best Practices: Get the Sales Team Involved
Once you know the end goal, start with the people closest to the ground and get your Sales team involved. Sales knows the pain points from a customer perspective, listen to their advice and incorporate it in to designs. Be sure to also educate your Sales team about the new site so they can use and market the site to their customers.
Best Practices: Keep it Simple
Best Practices: Keep it Simple
Integrations have a lot of arm and will affect almost every department. Keep things simple, straightforward, and organized in order to avoid getting overwhelmed or getting sidetracked.
