What is a System?

Take full control of your integration landscape by managing Systems in Nodinite. This page guides you to map dependencies, analyze impact, and streamline system replacement for robust enterprise integration.

✅ Map and visualize all system dependencies for every integration
✅ Instantly analyze the impact of changes or replacements
✅ Streamline documentation and governance with custom metadata and fields
✅ Empower your teams to manage integrations with confidence and agility

Start now: See the Add or Manage System user guide.

A System serves as either the Source or Destination entity in a message exchange for an Integration. You associate each Service (or Contract) with a specific System in the Repository Model. This structure lets you map and manage integrations precisely, so you can easily analyze dependencies and plan for changes.

A simplified example shows System A passing information to System B.

Examples of a System include:

  • BizTalk
  • SAP
  • TEIS
  • Dynamics 365
  • Insightly
  • PIM
  • MES
  • Customer ABC
  • HR+
  • Bluegarden
  • Evatic
  • Basware

With Nodinite, you manage relationships between Systems using the Integration Landscape feature.

Systems often interact in more complex ways than a simple A-to-B scenario:

graph LR A(SAP) --> B(BizTalk) B --> C(MES) B --> D(HR+) D --> B B --> A

A more complex systems integration scenario involving multiple Systems.

A System has a unique name within Nodinite and can include any number of custom properties (Custom Metadata). You connect each System with others through Services and, optionally, Contracts. Use the Integrations entity to manage these relationships.

When you use the Nodinite Web Client, you instantly review which Integrations relate to a particular System. If you need to replace a System, Nodinite's clear mapping lets you assess the impact and identify which Integrations require updates—so you minimize risk and cost.

Custom Metadata

As with all entities in the Nodinite Repository Model, you assign any number of Custom Metadata fields to a System. This approach supports flexible documentation and governance, so you capture all relevant system-specific information.

Custom Fields

Similarly, you assign any number of Custom Fields to a System, enabling tailored information management for your integration landscape. This flexibility ensures your documentation and tracking always align with your business needs.
