What This Service Delivers
Most automation programs fail not because the automation is wrong, but because the data underneath it is fragmented. Systems don’t talk to each other. Data lives in silos. Manual reconciliation is the norm. NovoCircle’s systems and data integration practice eliminates that fragmentation — connecting your platforms and building the data foundation your operations need.
What This Service Delivers
- System integration architecture and design
- API (Application Programming Interface) integration and middleware implementation
- CRM (Customer Relationship Management), ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), and operational platform connectivity
- Data pipeline design and implementation
- Data quality and validation frameworks
- Master data management and deduplication
- Integration monitoring and alerting
Platforms We Work With
Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite, SAP, HubSpot, Workday, ServiceNow, and the full Microsoft 365 and Azure stack. We also integrate with industry-specific platforms across healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, and professional services.
The Outcome
- Clean data flowing between your systems automatically
- No manual exports and imports
- No spreadsheets as middleware
- No reconciliation meetings
- Your automations have the data they need, when they need it
Our Approach
The principles that govern how we approach this service line.
Start with Understanding
We invest time understanding your environment, constraints, and goals before recommending anything. The shape of the solution follows the shape of the problem.
Scope to What's Real
Every engagement is scoped to what is achievable in your environment. We do not design for ideal conditions and then leave you to close the gap.
Deliver, Don't Just Advise
Our practitioners build the things they recommend. There is no hand-off to a separate delivery team after the strategy phase.
Transfer Knowledge
Every engagement includes documentation and knowledge transfer. You should not need us for the same problem twice.
Why NovoCircle
Tool-Agnostic Advice
No vendor relationships. No referral revenue. Advice reflects your environment, your constraints, and your goals.
Humans in the Loop — Always
Every automation includes defined oversight points. We don't remove humans from high-consequence decisions.
Experienced on the Ground
Ryan Schmierer brings 25+ years across Cisco, Microsoft, and Sparx Services NA. Not theorists. Practitioners.
Scoped to What's Real
Fixed scope on fixed-price offerings. Variable scope scoped to what can actually be delivered. No optimistic projections.

The best starting point is a 30-minute discovery call. We will ask about your environment, your goals, and your timeline, and we will tell you honestly whether this service is the right fit and what a typical engagement looks like.
We work with mid-market and enterprise organisations typically between 50 and 5,000 employees. Our engagements are designed for organisations that have real operational complexity, not early-stage startups optimising a simple process.
Yes. Many clients begin with the Define engagement, which is fixed scope and fixed price, to establish a clear picture before committing to a larger Build project. This is the lowest-risk entry point and produces useful deliverables in its own right.
