REVOPS TRAINING

Integration Layer

The connections moving data between systems, and the rules governing direction, timing and conflict.

What to document

  • Direction of flow for each field

  • Trigger: real time, scheduled, or manual

  • Conflict rule: which side wins when both changed

  • Failure behaviour: what happens when the sync fails, and who finds out

Failure is usually silent

Integrations rarely announce their own failure. Without alerting, a broken sync is discovered through its downstream consequences, typically weeks later.

RELATED TERMS

Systems of Record

The set of systems that each hold authoritative data for part of the business, and the map of which owns what. The architectural decision underneath every reporting question.

Tech Stack

The set of systems a revenue team operates, and — more importantly — how they relate to each other.

Data Orchestration

Coordinating how data moves and transforms across systems so a multi-tool stack behaves like a single one.

Single Source of Truth (SSOT)

The declared authority for a given piece of data — the system whose value wins when two systems disagree. Correctly applied it is decided per field, not per system.

What "System of Record" Means at the Field Level

Naming one system the source of truth for everything fails immediately. The workable unit is the field, and the rule is one writer, many readers.
