How we work
You stay close to the decisions that matter. We turn the agreed design into a working service, make responsibilities clear and stay accountable for managed integrations after launch.
Working together
The work moves through five practical stages. At each one, you can see what we need from you, what Source Connectors is responsible for and what we produce together.
Understand the systems, data and people involved, then agree what the integration needs to achieve.
Work through the data flow, controls, running costs and support model together.
Build in manageable stages and check the results against your source systems.
Put the service live with monitoring, reconciliation and a tested recovery path.
Run the integration, handle routine updates and review processing as your needs change.
After launch
The operating model depends on whether we are delivering a managed integration or helping you build a data platform in your own environment.
Managed service
Source Connectors keeps ownership of the custom integration code and runtime. We operate the dedicated customer stack, respond to alerts and manage routine updates. You keep ownership and control of the source data and destination in your AWS account.
The commercial model combines processing usage with an ongoing management fee, scoped to the integration.
Your environment
Data-platform work is built in your cloud and warehouse environment. Your team owns the platform and the assets delivered into it.
We agree the handover, documentation and training you need, or define ongoing support under a separate engagement.
Managed integration controls
The managed design keeps your destination in your AWS account and limits what the integration retains. These public statements depend on the controls being implemented and verified for the service.
You control the source accounts and the access granted to the integration.
A least-privilege cross-account role uses an external ID. Bucket-owner-enforced object ownership keeps access, retention and encryption policies under your control.
Working principles
We document the choices that affect security, cost, recovery and day-to-day ownership, then revisit them when the systems or requirements change.
Understand the finance, operational or reporting process before choosing the integration pattern or platform service.
Record why an option was chosen, what it costs, what can fail and what would trigger a later change.
Test data quality, reconciliation, monitoring and recovery as the integration is built.
Keep the design as simple as the workload allows and make the important controls explicit.
Review working changes together, with clear notes on decisions, test results and what comes next.
Agree who responds to failures, approves changes, controls cost and maintains business definitions.
