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%
