The Problem

Complex and Delayed Integrations:

Competitor Landscape

  • MuleSoft Anypoint
  • Boomi
  • Workato
  • Celigo
  • SnapLogic
  • Jitterbit
  • SAP Integration Suite
  • IBM App Connect

Must-Have Features for MVP

ERP-aware CDC agents (SAP/Oracle/NetSuite/Dynamics) with snapshot + streaming
Synthetic data subsetting and irreversible masking for non-prod twins
Auto-connector and mapping generator from ERP metadata; reusable mapping templates
Contract-test builder with golden datasets and schema diffing
Parallel pipelines with blue/green cutover and one-click rollback
Throughput autotuning (batch vs. stream) with cost/time estimator
Pre-built accelerators per ERP module (order-to-cash, procure-to-pay)
Observability (lineage, retries, idempotency) and impact analysis of changes

⚠️ Potential Challenges

  • ERP licensing/EULA restrictions around CDC or read replicas
  • Data residency and masking requirements
  • Limited metadata exposure in legacy ERPs
  • Organizational change control and InfoSec approvals

Risk Level: Moderate

🎯 Keys to Success

  • ≥60% reduction in integration lead time within first two projects
  • ≥90% auto-generated mappings verified by contract tests
  • <30 minutes service interruption during cutover
  • Defect escape rate reduced by ≥50% in first 30 days
  • Partner/SI onboarding time reduced by ≥40%
