Managing Partners In EnSync
Introduction
EnSync is the integration layer for your partner ecosystem. Instead of building and maintaining dozens of point‑to‑point connections, your partners connect once to EnSync. The result is a secure, reliable, and observable platform for real‑time data flow across your entire business network.
Enable partners to connect to your product quickly and securely. EnSync provides the communication layer so your team can focus on creating business value through new partnerships—not on building and maintaining integrations.
Who is a Partner?
A Partner is any third party that integrates with your product. Partners can be internal or external to your organization.
Internal Partners
Internal partners are teams, business units, subsidiaries, or internal applications within your organization that integrate with your product and other systems via EnSync.
Examples
Data and analytics platforms (e.g., enterprise data lake/warehouse)
Core business systems (ERP, CRM, billing, support, HRIS)
Product services and mobile/web apps owned by internal teams
Typical integrations
Publish operational events (orders, inventory, telemetry) into EnSync for downstream consumers
Subscribe to partner events to trigger internal workflows (billing, support, analytics, notifications)
Use schema‑validated messages to maintain consistency across domains and environments
Governance and security
Fine‑grained permissions per app/team with least‑privilege access
Environment separation (dev/stage/prod) and auditable message replay for troubleshooting
Regular key rotation and centralized observability for compliance
External Partners
External partners are customers, vendors, ISVs, system integrators, and device manufacturers that connect to your product from outside your organization.
Examples
SaaS vendors, logistics providers, financial institutions, health platforms
System integrators building cross‑vendor workflows
Device and hardware manufacturers publishing standardized event streams
Typical integrations
Publish device or application events to your ecosystem (IoT telemetry, commerce orders, security alerts)
Subscribe to standardized event streams (order updates, shipment status, care notifications)
Leverage canonical schemas and versioning so integrations remain stable as your product evolves
Onboarding and controls
Unique keys per partner and per application; scoped send/receive permissions
Contracted schemas with versioning for safe evolution and backwards compatibility
Real‑time observability for volume/latency/error tracking and SLA reporting
