Platform, not projects
API Management, Logic Apps, Functions and Service Bus set up as shared capability with standards.
Azure
Azure Integration Services as a governed integration platform
Integration is where most system programs slip. BD-S builds integration platforms on Azure that are documented, monitored and reusable, so each new connection is cheaper than the last.
The problem it solves
Why organisations look at Azure Integration Services
Every integration is bespoke
Each project wires its own connection, with different error handling and no shared monitoring.
No visibility when things fail
Failed messages and stale data are discovered by users rather than operations.
APIs without governance
Services exposed without consistent security, versioning or documentation.
Where BD-S adds value
More than a product install
Patterns that fit the system
Synchronous APIs, event-driven messaging and batch chosen deliberately per integration.
Observable by default
Application Insights, alerting and dashboards so operations see failures first.
Complementary to Power Platform
Custom connectors and APIs so low-code teams can use enterprise integrations safely.
Services
Advisory and implementation
Integration architecture
Current-state review, target patterns, standards and roadmap.
Platform build
API Management, Logic Apps, Functions, Service Bus and monitoring with infrastructure as code.
Integration delivery
Individual integrations designed, built, tested and documented.
MuleSoft coexistence and migration
Integration between Azure and MuleSoft estates, or migration where consolidation makes sense.
Use cases
Where it fits
- Dynamics 365 integrated with finance and HR systems
- Event-driven synchronisation between case management and records systems
- Public and partner APIs published through API Management
- Payment gateway and banking integration for Business Central
- Replacing file-based batch interfaces
Part of the wider Microsoft ecosystem
The platform connects Dynamics 365, Dataverse, Microsoft 365 and Business Central with finance, HR, payments, GIS and external partners. BD-S also runs MuleSoft, so mixed estates are familiar ground.
Governance and security
Built to be governed
- API standards, versioning and documentation through API Management
- Managed identities and Key Vault for secrets, no credentials in code
- Environment separation with infrastructure as code and pipelines
- Monitoring, alerting and runbooks handed to operations
Adoption and managed support
After go-live
Integration workloads are monitored and supported under the BD-S managed service, with the same commercial model as the MuleSoft managed service.
