• Design and oversee integration architectures between ERP platforms and other applications

• Define, align, and document integration contracts (API Contracts, Interface Specifications)

• Design cross-system data flows and communication mechanisms using synchronous and asynchronous integration patterns

• Establish integration standards including API design and versioning guidelines, backward compatibility, error handling, security, and integration monitoring

• Partner with development teams, business analysts, architects, and external vendors on solution design and evolution

• Provide architectural governance during implementation to ensure compliance with contracts and target architecture
