Our Consultants and Associates understand that analysts need to focus on business processes and functions and present them in an end to end process flow so as to enable the technology architectural design.
Integration Architecture connects the modern enterprise to its internal stakeholders, trading partners, and customers by providing the essential links between applications, platforms, business processes, and data.
Our Integration Architects pride themselves on understanding the fundamental requirements of sound integration architecture, and are able to apply the multitude of integration software solutions and techniques an organisation has adopted.
Effective and efficient security architectures consist of multiple components, and include the people, processes, policy requirements and tools that align together to protect company wide assets.
Our Architects follow a methodology that manages the co-ordination of these components ensuring that the security requirements are captured early on in an engagement. This allows the current, transition, and future states of the organisations security architecture to be driven by, and align with, business vision, goals, and policy. It also enables the security architecture to be implemented in a controlled fashion.
Technology landscapes are changing rapidly. Sometimes organisations struggle to keep pace and suffer competitive disadvantage.

In todays rapidly expanding API environment organisations are looking for ways to publish and manage APIs.
We can assist you in understanding how APIs can help you to grow your online presence and the technologies required to link those APIs to your internal systems.
The vision of the Internet of Things (IoT) is moving very rapidly from computer concept to reality, where everyday physical objects will be connected to the Internet and in turn to each other.
More commonly today, gateways enable solutions that allow enterprises and industries to solve complex information and user management challenges across Business-to-Partner (B2P), Business-to-Customer (B2C) and Business-to-Enterprise (B2E) relationships.
We can help guide your business to integrate with other businesses as well as with the ever growing number of consumers in the IoT's.
Organisations continue to look for business efficiencies through initiatives such as shared services across departments or entities. Key to the creation of such synergies is the understanding of what the common processes are and thus what common services can achieve better efficiencies.
We understand the linkage between an end to end business process and the utilisation of common services, and are able to use service orchestration to simplify and reduce your reliance on manual processes.
IT Governance is a management-backed initiative that requires strong authority and management support to implement a structured framework, enabling management to strategically align, measure, and manage IT resources in a way that will increase their visibility and value to the business, whilst reducing risk and providing a means of continual improvement.

We effectively address the challenges of today’s fragmented security landscape, by bringing together competencies across various toolsets, building solutions which span a wide spectrum of requirements, offering seamless access to resources and presenting a unified view of the enterprise for our clients.
Identity is increasingly considered the foundation block for creating a secure, trusted environment in which users can engage with, or within an organisation - ultimately enhancing their security posture, and ensuring that people have access to the technology resources they need, when they need them. With our technology-neutral approach, we critically understand most offerings on the market today, and provide guidance which transcends a technology-specific view.
Establishing end-user identities, whilst managing the assignment and enforcement of access to enterprise resources.
Workforce Identity is about streamlining and automating processes for provisioning and enforcing access, providing a detailed level of insight and control over access entitlements which have been requested or granted, evaluating and enforcing realtime authentication and authorisation in the context of the resource that is being accessed, and maintaining a comprehensive and valid set of data for enabling these identity and access activities.
We recognise that it is common for organisations to be burdened with legacy applications introducing additional challenges in attaining best practice, and we can assist in navigating these.
Brokering customer interactions to digital channels, whilst establishing the right balance between security and convenience for enabling customers to access digital services.
Customer Identity often provides the first experience that a customer has when interacting with a service, this interaction can make or break their perception of the organisation. Unclear instructions, unnecessary steps, and unreasonable delays can all hinder the experience, leaving customers feeling frustrated and inconvenienced. Modern consumers expect to be able to engage with minimal friction, and may look elsewhere if they are not satisfied with their experience.
We can help assess your digital customer experiences, and overlay an effective approach to identity which will contribute to a positive and lasting impression for your customers, while providing you assurance that transactions are enhanced with the appropriate security controls.
Permitting temporary elevated user access policies to systems and credentials for managing IT infrastructure.
Privileged Access Management is an often overlooked component of IT infrastructure which can be difficult to get right without a proper assessment of the current state. When done correctly, it provides accountability and protection against malicious attacks. In a time when foreign interference and opportunistic attacks are on the rise, an organisation’s approach to Privileged Access Management can quickly become the weakest link in enabling significant data breaches, and sabotage of infrastructure components.
We can help to ensure that your critical assets and business interests are protected without hindering the experience of your IT workforce.
Transforming the customer Identity Verification process through a trusted ecosystem of customers, credential issuers and relying parties.
Verifiable Credentials are a means of providing proof of one’s identity in the digital age. When interacting with an organisation for the first time, many of us are accustomed to presenting the appropriate physical documentation. This will gradually become a thing of the past when the Verifiable Credentials ecosystem has reached a level of maturity. Whether in person or online, Kiwis will be able to provide digital proof of the necessary attributes to relying organisations.
Middleware New Zealand have been close to these initiatives at a governmental level, and currently have representation on the Digital Identity New Zealand Executive Council to provide input to the future of Digital Identity in New Zealand. We can help your organisation to prepare to engage with this ecosystem once it has
come to fruition.
Enabling customers to consent to an accredited Third-Party Service provider accessing their data.
With emerging open standards in New Zealand, Customers may wish to share their information with a Third-Party Service provider, or have them act on their behalf. Open data enables offering organisations to engage in this ecosystem, allowing Third-parties Service providers to participate by leveraging APIs in order to provide additional value to customers.
Middleware New Zealand have been close to these initiatives, working with many banks within Australia and New Zealand to establish Open Banking in the sector. This trajectory is expected to impact other industries including energy and health. We are at the forefront of this exciting development, and can help your organisation to establish your approach for participating.
The cybersecurity industry has seen significant growth in recent years in response to the dramatic rise in the number of cyber threats worldwide. Since the mass adoption of cloud services, Identity has become central to the majority of attacks, and traditional measures of security are no longer sufficient to protect against concerted efforts to infiltrate environments.
Middleware New Zealand are well versed in the full gamut of security and the risks that are introduced when offering digital services, which penetrates every layer of the IT landscape. We can help to assess your environment and identify any gaps in the approach to security, along with providing the appropriate remedial measures.
