Project Summary

BinarApps developed integrations for a marketing/customer data platform, implementing Node.js and TypeScript components and integrating with both SOAP and RESTful third-party APIs. The engagement delivered the required integration functionality and demonstrated strong knowledge of privacy legislation, though the project had not yet gone live. Teams overcame time-zone and communication challenges through planned scrum meetings and asynchronous workflows.

Key Challenges

Build integrations with a wide variety of third-party systems to ingest data
Create plugins/extensions for each external system to fit the client’s infrastructure framework

Project Deliverables

API integrations for third-party SOAP and RESTful systems
Node.js/TypeScript implementation
Jest test suites
Release candidates for the integrations

Project Solution

BinarApps acted as a full-service development partner: they learned the client’s API and platform, researched third-party systems, and built API integrations and plugins (SOAP and REST) primarily in Node.js/TypeScript. They implemented Jest-based testing, produced release candidates, and collaborated with the client’s product owners and scrum processes throughout the October 2019–February 2020 engagement.

Project Outcome

Delivered the required integration functionality though the project had not yet gone live
Vendor became proficient on the client platform and internal tools within four months
Demonstrated strong knowledge of privacy legislation (GDPR)
