The ever increasing pace of innovation in technology, coupled with advancements in internet services, online marketing and website development it can sometimes be difficult to keep the IT systems that you have invested in over the years working efficiently within the grander scheme of things. It is also commonly the case that legacy systems tend to lag behind the times and are left either completely unsupported or at least lacking in support for new features and functionality – particularly where internet and online facilities are concerned.
Answering the problems posed by the integration of legacy and bespoke systems is an area in which Carpe Diem excel and have great deal of experience, having worked with flagship industry standard products such as NAVision, AS400, SAGE, Magento as well as more niche and bespoke systems, achieving successful integration with cutting edge internet services in every instance.
A key aspect of any attempt to integrate bespoke, stand alone or legacy systems into your business’s internet strategy is the issue of elegantly handling the exchange of data, perhaps of very different or unsupported formats, between the various systems involved – for example transferring customer or user data from an in-house or third party CRM system or database solution to am externally hosted newly developed website – whilst maintaining security, accuracy, resilience, redundancy and integrity at every possible stage. With a wealth of technologies at our disposal including Virtualisation, database replication, SOAP, XML, cloud infrastructure and many others across a wide range of platforms, combined with our intricate knowledge of websites and web services places Carpe Diem in a perfect position to analyse, suggest, develop and implement an integration or data exchange solution that is appropriate for your requirements and budget.

ASICS have always been a very active in promoting their products and making it easy for customers to register interest in the brand and receive marketing communications. They have many websites and ‘mini sites’, some with multiple data capture facilities. The challenge was to aggregate and manage this growing collection of contact data that was becoming increasingly time-consuming to deal with. Whenever personal data is collected by a company – especially if it’s for marketing purposes – it’s vital to ensure the contact details are accurate and the user is happy to be contacted. User preferences must always be adhered to and any communications sent must be relevant. To ensure these criteria could be met across the board, regardless of which website the data had come from, the concept of a centralised database engine was developed.
