Have you been frustrated while trying to get access to your existing databases from within Salesforce? Do the costs of moving data into Salesforce make more work for your call center and analytics users?
This data can be sitting in a legacy on-premises database, which is too large and costly to migrate to the cloud, or it could be Progress OpenEdge, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle or even data warehouses such as Snowflake and Google BigQuery.
Fortunately Progress DataDirect has a solution to simplify your data integrations with Salesforce.
Forcing users to navigate multiple systems hurts productivity and your customer's experience. But when your users access all needed data inside Salesforce, everyone benefits from having the most current information at their fingertips. By keeping your data where it lives and using DataDirect to share with Salesforce in real time, you save time, money and maintain secure control over your data at rest and in motion.
You can also avoid the heavy lifting of needing to ETL or replicate your data. Progress DataDirect Hybrid Data Pipeline will REST enable your data sources using OData so Salesforce can easily connect. It also supports end-to-end encryption, cloud or on-premises deployments and features to protect your data sources.
Speaking of supported data sources, we have you covered from traditional relational sources such as Oracle, SQL Server, and PostgreS to Hive and Mongo. We also cover cloud sources like Dynamics, SAP and REST sources with our Autonomous REST Connector built right in.
In just a few steps, you will be good to go with data in Salesforce through Hybrid Data Pipeline. Start by installing on a Linux server or using our Docker image. The web interface makes it easy to connect to the data you want to REST enable for Salesforce.
Once connected to your data, it is quick and easy to choose what tables and columns will be made available to Salesforce. This provides an extra layer of security. We also offer read-write as well as read-only controls.
The last step is completed in Salesforce by configuring an external data source to connect to the OData endpoint shared by the Hybrid Data Pipeline server. Salesforce will automatically create external objects that can be used in the Salesforce environment.
Just like that, you now have real-time, single source of truth access to your external data. For more information on Progress Data Direct Hybrid Data Pipeline, or to request a trial, please use this QR code. Our team of data connectivity experts is ready to help you.
