The four patterns you will actually need

Almost every requirement is one of four patterns wearing different words. Learning to hear which one is being described is most of integration design. FILE DROP. Another system leaves a file somewhere; Fusion picks it up and loads it. Inbound, batch, and the workhorse of most estates. SCHEDULED EXTRACT. Fusion produces a file on a schedule and delivers it somewhere. Outbound, batch, and Module 4 and Module 6 have already built it. DIRECT API CALL. One system calls the other when something happens. Real time, synchronous, and the caller waits for an answer. EVENT NOTIFICATION. Fusion announces that something happened and the receiver decides what to do. Real time, asynchronous, and nobody waits. THE WORDS PEOPLE USE DO NOT MAP CLEANLY ONTO THESE. "Real-time integration" often turns out to mean "within the hour", which is a scheduled extract.
