ALL OF YOUR DATA, FROM ALL OF YOUR SOURCES, ALL AT YOUR FINGER TIPS.
Manage and integrate all your data in the cloud or on premise, with modern integration services from PicNet
Data integration is the process of combining data from different sources into a single, unified view. All of your SaaS, data, analytics, cloud and local in one place.
A seamless and secured solution is essential to integrate the data from all these siloed platforms and combine them together and establish a smooth unified place to store them.
Access to the right data, anywhere, anytime on any device improves employee efficiency boosts productivity, and creates otherwise unavailable, actionable BI.
Using our iPaaS technologies, as your data is integrated into a centralised system, critical issues can be identified quickly, and the quality of data can be drastically improved. Better data means better decisions.
DON'T YOU WISH SOMEONE COULD MAKE ALL OF YOUR DATA, PLATFORMS, SAAS PRODUCTS, CLOUD PLATFORMS AND BI TOGETHER INTO ONE PLACE? PICNET IPAAS IS THE ANSWER.
Integration Services. Integration Solutions.
Access, Integrate and Connect Your Data
Are you ready to make all of your saas products, cloud and data sources work in concert?
Many businesses implement point-to-point integrations that increase complexity and costs for support and maintenance. High maintenance code also serves to increase security risks. We call this approach spaghetti-style interfacing'. 'Spaghetti-style interfacing' reduces the business's ability to adapt to change.
For a robust digital transformation, application and data integration should be robust enough to support the large influx of data sources and systems and be flexible enough to support innovations ahead.
With the new generation of middleware solutions (iPaaS - Integration Platform as a Service) we create a robust and secure integration platform that allows real time and professional integration of multiple SaaS and legacy applications, based on the cloud, on premises or hybrid.
The iPaaS Technologies
There are a lot of ways to orchestrate your data and products. because we are product agnostic, we can give you the right solution every time.
Some solutions are better at API management, communication protocols, data and application connectivity, data formatting, mapping, transformation, etc. The solution of choice depends on the problem at hand, but as a general rule, PicNet Integration Platform strongly supports Azure Integration Services and after that, other platforms.
There are numerous iPaaS solutions in the marketplace, including:
- Microsoft Azure Integration Services
- Informatica
- Boomi
- Mulesoft
- Jitterbit
- Others
Access, Integrate and Connect Your Data
PicNet Integration, Orchestration and Master Data Platform [Centazio]
Over time we have identified the most common tasks that most integration projects require.
From this experience, we have built Centazio to address these items quickly and efficiently.
- Efficient acquisition and deployment of Azure resources
- Reproducible Azure deployment
- Tools to start/stop Azure environments to reduce cost
- Tools to assist in other miscellaneous and common maintenance tasks
- Code to assist:
- Efficient development of Azure functions
- Efficient usage of Azure Service Bus
- Best practices to assist in staging entities:
- Staging is the step of copying source system data in an unmodified format to the database.
- Best practices to assist in promoting entities (promoting is taking staging data and converting it into a common format that can then be saved in the master data database).
- Best practices to assist in long-running and complex workflows
- Best practices in creating a star-schema style master database that supports reporting out of the box
- Managed services
- Once the initial implementation is complete, PicNet provides ongoing maintenance, enhancements, upgrades and improvements under a longer-term Managed Services agreement.
Modern Enterprise Systems Architecture
Your systems are probably great, for the 1990's. doesn't your business, team and customers deserve the best solutions?
Twenty-five years ago, we did not have the internet. Now, we could not live without it.
Enterprise systems used to be large, clunky, expensive, slow, fragile, difficult to maintain, upgrade and replace. However, they used to be the only viable alternative for enterprises to have business systems to improve productivity. Sophisticated vendor management especially where the global configuration was paramount.
As the internet became more prevalent, there has been a significant evolution significantly of new public cloud architectures, new development and database tools, new reporting and multi-tenant capabilities. Consequently, the new best-practice way to deploy enterprise systems is not one large system, but instead, several small, SaaS subscription-based, low-cost, best in class systems for each functionality required.
If integrated correctly, each system talks to each other via an iPaaS solution - Microsoft Azure Integration Services.

Case Studies
INTEGRATION AND DATA MIGRATION SERVICES
This premier yacht club in Australia, are currently undergoing a major digital transformation that consists of around 10 systems to be replaced and eventually integrated to each other. Part of this process will be to migrate all their existing data to this new infrastructure.
Some of the systems that are included to be replaced are:
- Member Management System
- Marina Management System
- Financial System
- Payroll System
- POS (Point of Sale) System
PicNet has been engaged to be involved in this digital transformation that will span 5 years and is responsible for all the integration requirements for all the 10 systems using Microsoft Azure Integration Services and Centazio.

LARGE AGED CARE FACILITY
This large aged care provider specializes on residential aged care and aims to enhance every resident's quality of life by maintaining personal connections with each other, their families, the staff, and the community. Several systems are currently in place for care provision and governance, staff culture, quality and compliance oversight and technology development to deliver exceptional resident experiences and improved business performance.
PicNet has been awarded with the development of an integration platform for two systems initially as a Proof of Concept (PoC) to make daily operations more efficient. These two systems are an HR system to optimise the management of the work force; and a Payroll/Finance system. This PoC integration will include the transfer of employee details, leave balances, and timesheet and pay run information between the two systems.
This PoC was completed with outstanding results and the business is now looking to leverage the Centazio platform for other projects.

This private company is the leading provider of orientation and mobility services for people with low vision or blindness. These services include training people to use mobility aids such as canes, trained assistance dogs and electronic devices to assist people to travel with more safety and confidence in their environment.
PicNet was initially engaged to integrate their CRM with other applications and databases. Further to that, PicNet also migrated certain data from a legacy application to their CRM. This has helped the company to just have a single source of truth for all their business data. We are also in involved in continuous discussions for more integrations, data warehousing and data migrations planned for the near future.
