Our Approach

For many of our customers, their first engagement with us is through an Integration Accelerator. This fixed cost & low friction engagement enables organizations to quickly prove the value of implementing WSO2. We help organizations plan their WSO2 adoption, define the right architecture to bring the technology into, understand their own cost and optimize their consumption.

The flexibility WSO2 has in deployment terms can provide significant opportunities for organizations to leverage containerization technologies like Docker and Kubernetes to optimize their operating costs. Our DevOps and CI/CD practice works with customers to ensure that the deployment and maintenance of those technologies are implemented according to industry best practices.

We see integration as an organizational capability. For some of our customers, we provide their complete end-to-end capability, for others, we guide them in building their capability or associated center of excellence. Whether it is the development of integration, design of APIs, deployment of API Facades, provision of scrum development teams or deployment of industry-specific reference architectures in Healthcare, Open Banking or Telco, TechLead & Sergain can help.

WSO2 Considerations

As with any commercial open-source technology, we always recommend that organizations engage in a supported subscription version of the technology. If it is critical to your business operation, then you need support, which in turn empowers the vendor to continue to deliver a creative and aggressive roadmap for improvement and sustainability. Specifically, with WSO2, interim security patches, and updates are only available with a valid and current WSO2 subscription. It is likely in any WSO2 implementation that DevOps and CI/CD will be a core consideration, especially when deploying a microservice pattern or using container technologies. In the absence of these disciplines and their supporting technologies, it is easy for operational costs to scale. It’s important to carefully plan your architecture, and its operational deployment and then bring the technology into that. Organizations also need to consider where an observability platform needs to fit and how it gets deployed. Building integration capability is a journey. Knowing when to employ the right product or capability, building the skills, knowledge sharing, and establishing a center of excellence are all things TechLead & Sergain can help with
