Customer relationship management firm Salesforce.com has
announced new integration tools to connect its on-demand services
with back-office systems.
The Apexconnect set of services has been designed to address
businesses’ integration needs. It is based on Salesforce.com’s
multi-tenant Apex platform.
The set will include ConnectOracle, designed to integrate
Salesforce with back office Oracle 11i databases. The new connector
will allow users to synchronise account information between
Salesforce and Oracle 11i, using a pre-built template.
A new ConnectOut feature in the Apex platform will enable
on-demand outbound messaging. This will allow changes in Salesforce
data, such as the creation of a new customer, to be instantly
communicated to other enterprise applications.
Salesforce.com has also announced a string of integration
products produced by partner firms under the Apexconnect umbrella,
allowing users to integrate Salesforce with enterprise applications
from suppliers including Aboveall, Business Objects, Data Backbone,
Dynamic Ventures, Ipedo, Jitterbit, Openaccess Software, Pervasive,
Tibco, Salescentrix, Scribe, Sesame Software and Twoconnect.
