With more than 25 years of experience in Sterling technologies, Mirjana VOJVODIC has become a leading figure in the world of integration. Her journey began with flagship solutions such as Connect:Direct, Sterling B2B Integrator, Sterling File Gateway, and Sterling Secure Proxy. Very quickly, she distinguished herself through her ability to master complex technical environments and leverage them to meet the strategic needs of organizations.
But Mirjana’s expertise extends beyond her professional assignments. Since 2011, she has been running World of Integration, a well-recognized website and forum where the international Sterling user community shares experiences, exchanges knowledge, and finds solutions to technical challenges. This commitment reflects her passion for transmitting knowledge and actively contributing to the dissemination of best practices around this technology.
A Journey Shaped by Sterling
Mirjana’s Sterling story began in the mid-2000s when she took part in the very first training sessions on Gentran Integration Suite, later renamed Sterling B2B Integrator. That experience was decisive: she recognized a technology capable of revolutionizing enterprise integration by automating exchanges and facilitating seamless collaboration between partners. Since then, she has remained deeply connected to this ecosystem, closely following its evolution while building rare and comprehensive expertise.
Over the years, Mirjana has developed full mastery of the platform, covering every aspect of its lifecycle: design, development, deployment, administration, and optimization. This versatility allows her not only to address highly technical challenges but also to guide companies in broader reflections on efficiency, governance, and security in integration processes.
A Technology Serving the Enterprise
Sterling B2B Integrator is much more than a tool—it is a complete enterprise integration platform. It automates critical business processes, manages complex transactions, and ensures smooth communication across diverse systems.
Its strength lies in its open-standards-based approach—from data formats to communication protocols, workflow modeling, and security—which guarantees maximum interoperability. For businesses, this translates into stronger real-time collaboration with partners, greater reliability in process execution, and a significant reduction in risks associated with sensitive data exchanges.
High-Impact Projects
Throughout her career, Mirjana has applied her expertise to major international projects, showcasing Sterling’s power and flexibility.
- In Melbourne, she contributed to automating student application processing. The system, built on Sterling, ensured smooth information flow from the CRM to universities, leveraging a wide range of protocols such as SMTP, FTP, SFTP, REST, SOAP, and HTTP. This project highlights Sterling’s ability to orchestrate diverse and business-critical workflows in sensitive environments.
- In Singapore, she supported the deployment of connectivity for the National Trade Platform (NTP), used by customs for electronic document exchanges. Sterling was implemented as both REST client and server, reinforced with Sterling Secure Proxy and external authentication. The goal was clear: to guarantee fast, secure, and reliable transactions within a national strategic framework.
- In Cape Town, she collaborated with Vodacom on the development of web applications to enable centralized administration of Sterling B2B Integrator and Sterling File Gateway. The challenge was to simplify operations while ensuring performance, particularly for handling massive volumes of data. Thanks to targeted optimizations, the system was adapted to meet the demands of a large-scale enterprise.
These projects demonstrate Sterling’s tangible value: a robust technology capable of addressing diverse challenges across industries, sectors, and even national infrastructures.
Expertise in Constant Evolution
For Mirjana, Sterling is not just a technology but a comprehensive ecosystem that requires a wide spectrum of skills. Working with the platform means combining expertise in development, data formats, communication protocols, networking, security, administration, and tuning. This demanding complexity helps shape well-rounded professionals who can engage with both technical and business teams.
This versatility has become both a professional strength and a personal asset for Mirjana. Her career has taken her across multiple countries, into multicultural teams, and into communities where she shares her expertise. More than a technical journey, her path is also a rich human experience.
