Integration Many Monolith Systems in Single Ecosystem via 9 Dots Menu Pattern
We developed a solution for a comprehensive sales engagement platform that encompasses content, communications, and sales intelligence, with main features including customer content uploads, conversion, editing, customization, and organization; audio/video conferencing and presentation; and capturing viewer engagement with the content. The primary objective was to eliminate the need for additional passwords, enabling users to transition seamlessly between products via a unified 9 Dots Menu Pattern. This approach provided users with unrestricted access to all available products.

Challenge
Overcoming technical challenges during the integration process, which encompass data mapping, addressing critical security concerns, and orchestrating efficient API management. The task at hand also involved ensuring the compatibility of diverse systems and establishing seamless communication within the ecosystem. This demanded rigorous testing and meticulous debugging efforts to ensure effective integration.
Solution
Our partner had a vision to simplify user access across their suite of products, and we have successfully integrated multiple independent monolithic systems into a unified ecosystem with Java on the backend. This integration will facilitate enhanced user experiences and empower users to interact seamlessly with the platform using the 9 Dots Menu Pattern. To fulfill the partner's vision, we undertook meticulous technical execution that included:
Permission Optimization
Our team meticulously configured permission settings within cloud accounts to ensure efficient synchronization. Our overarching goal was to synchronize teams, users within teams, and groups to streamline processes across the spectrum of user and product engagement.
Two-Way Synchronization and Scalability
We orchestrated the initial connection for bidirectional synchronization between systems and meticulously configured the adjustments needed for seamless integration with AWS infrastructure.
Seamless Authentication and Access
We've established a frictionless authentication and authorization process through APIs. This approach can eliminate the need for additional passwords and provides users with a unified entry point. Our single sign-on mechanism allows users to transition effortlessly between products, ensuring they have unrestricted access to all available features.
Front-End Component Integration
We collaborated closely with the partner's team to integrate a front-end component they had developed. We adhered to established rules and guidelines, ensuring a harmonious integration process using React.
Technologies Used
The technology stack utilized to integrate multiple monolith systems into a single ecosystem via the 9 Dots Menu Pattern was a robust and powerful one, designed to handle complex challenges with ease. Our team leveraged the capabilities of Java 7, 8, and 17, as well as C# and Spring, to build a strong foundation for seamless integration.
