The Quiet Power of Integration Audits
Most companies only audit what’s visible — finances, compliance, cybersecurity.
But ask how many have ever audited their IT integrations, and you’ll hear crickets.
That’s like checking your car’s paint job but never opening the hood.
Why Integration Audits Matter
Integrations age like milk. APIs change, dependencies break silently, and “temporary patches” turn permanent. The system still runs — until it doesn’t.
We once helped a client whose ERP “mystery bug” turned out to be a script from 2017 that was still running nightly, creating phantom invoices. It had cost them six figures in reconciliation work before anyone noticed.
The Silent Killers of Performance
- Forgotten connectors. Old sync jobs are running on outdated credentials.
- Overlapping automations. Two systems are writing to the same field.
- Shadow logic. Business rules embedded in code that no one documents.
Each one adds drag to your digital operations — the kind no monitoring tool flags.
What an Integration Audit Actually Delivers
- Visibility: A map of how your data actually flows versus how you think it does.
- Risk reduction: Early detection of silent process corruption.
- Efficiency: Less duplication, fewer delays, happier users.
Our engineers in Kaunas run these audits like digital forensics. It’s not glamorous, but it’s the fastest way to find 20% efficiency gains hiding in plain sight.
When to Run One
- Before major upgrades or vendor switches.
- After two years of incremental fixes.
- Any time “it works, but slowly” becomes your team’s default phrase.
Integration audits are like preventive maintenance — boring until you skip it.
Stop waiting for breakdowns. Start looking under the hood.
