Enterprise Integration Consulting: Connect Systems, Modernise Legacy Platforms
Corlence is a global integration and AI consultancy, headquartered in Melbourne with senior engineers delivering on-site or remotely anywhere in the world, helping organisations connect ERP, CRM, core systems and SaaS platforms. We design event-driven and API-led integration architectures, modernise legacy point-to-point and ESB estates, and deliver on WSO2, MuleSoft, Apache Kafka and cloud-native iPaaS. Identity and access management is a dedicated practice of ours, so if securing access is also part of the problem, see our IAM consulting page.
Why teams bring us in
Your systems are disconnected. Manual data entry, inconsistent information and siloed operations are slowing the business down.
You are choosing an integration platform. ESB, iPaaS or event streaming, you want a vendor-neutral recommendation scoped to your architecture, not a sales pitch.
You are modernising a legacy ESB or point-to-point estate. Years of tactical integrations have become a maintenance burden and you need a path to something cleaner.
You need reliable B2B and partner integration. EDI, API-based and real-time exchanges with suppliers, partners and customers need to be secure and dependable.
You want an independent architecture review. Performance, reliability or cost feels off in your current integration estate and you want a senior second opinion.
You need integration security tightened up. Encryption, credential management and audit trails across your integration estate need to meet regulated-industry requirements.

Why Corlence
Vendor-neutral platform expertise. We work across WSO2, MuleSoft, Kafka and cloud-native iPaaS, so recommendations fit your workload rather than a reseller relationship.
Deep platform practices. Dedicated WSO2 and MuleSoft consulting practices, led by a WSO2 Ambassador and certified MuleSoft developers, for teams that already know their platform.
Independent advisory. We deliver outcomes, not licenses, and we say so when a different platform or pattern fits your problem better.
AI-forward. Exposing integration endpoints to agents safely is part of how we design integration architecture today, not an afterthought.
Global delivery. Melbourne head office with senior engineers delivering remote or on-site anywhere in the world, at sensible rates.
End-to-end ownership. The same team that designs and builds your integration also supports and tunes it in production, so context never gets lost in a handover.
Frequently asked questions
Is identity and access management part of this service?
Identity and access management is a dedicated Corlence practice with its own page, covering SSO, CIAM, MFA and RBAC across Keycloak, Okta, Forgerock and WSO2 Identity Server. See our IAM consulting page. We regularly bundle IAM with an integration engagement where the two are related.
How long does an enterprise integration implementation take?
Implementation timelines vary based on complexity, typically ranging from six to sixteen weeks for a full integration platform rollout. We provide a detailed project plan during discovery, and audits run one to two weeks.
Can you integrate with our legacy systems?
Yes. We specialise in connecting modern and legacy systems using APIs, file-based integration, message queues and custom adapters to ensure compatibility without a disruptive rip-and-replace.
Can you help us choose between an ESB, iPaaS or event streaming approach?
Yes. We run a vendor-neutral comparison scoped to your workload, team skills and cost profile, and recommend WSO2, MuleSoft, Kafka or a hybrid based on what actually fits, not a licensing relationship.
Do you support WSO2 and MuleSoft?
Yes. We run dedicated consulting practices for both platforms. See our WSO2 consulting and MuleSoft consulting pages for platform-specific audits, implementation and training.
What about data security and compliance?
We implement security best practices including encryption, secure APIs and audit trails to meet regional compliance regimes such as GDPR, the Australian Privacy Act, PCI-DSS and other industry-specific requirements. Identity controls such as SSO and RBAC sit with our IAM practice.
Do you do enterprise integration health checks or architecture reviews?
Yes. A typical integration health check runs one to two weeks and produces a written report covering architecture, performance, reliability, security and operational maturity, with a prioritised action plan.
Do you provide ongoing support?
Yes, through our Managed Advisory model: ongoing senior advisory, monitoring input and continuous improvement to keep your integration estate running smoothly, billed as a monthly retainer.
How quickly can you start?
For audits and short engagements, usually within a week. For larger implementations we scope and mobilise in two to three weeks.
