How to push data into an external system?

As part of a project, I am looking to achieve the following:
  1. I want to push salesforce specific fields in Contacts to update an external system that does not have an out of the box connection to SF.
  2. This system (let’s call it SYSTM) does not push data directly to Salesforce, instead, it pushes it first to Marketo, then Marketo pushed the record to Salesforce - what the project entails is that if a Sales rep in Salesforce changes information such as name or email, then than should push data into SYSTM even though they are not connected.
  3. This system requires a login access (that the sales reps have) - when in the Salesforce Contact page, I will need to send a request to a specific URL, I will need to also reference the following:
  • Sales Rep SF User ID
  • SYSTM User ID (which is already in Salesforce
  • SYSTM Secret: API key
  • SYSTM record ID - each contact would have a SYSTM record ID that is already in Marketo and Salesforce
If anyone can provide different approaches, it would be very much appreciated!

Thank you so much.
