Today’s Topic

• Attend this webinar to learn how-to successfully

integrate your Salesforce CRM to your Microsoft

Dynamics ERP system like Microsoft Dynamics

AX, GP, NAV or SL. Learn how-to use highly

reliable methods with a 5-Star Salesforce App

Exchange Adapter to manage business processes

running between Salesforce and your ERP.

Automate opportunity-to-order conversion,

accounts receivable status, master item data and

much more.

• See how-to use the Magic xpi Integration Platform

and the new Visual Studio interface to design

business process flows between applications in

the cloud or on-premise.

Basic Considerations

ERP stands for enterprise resource planning. Microsoft ERP solutions are offered under the Microsoft Dynamics brand. Options include Microsoft Dynamics AX, NAV ,GP and SL.

Microsoft Dynamics AX is software that allows companies of all sizes to manage their entire business organizations, including supply chain, procurement, human resources, financials, and projects.

Hybrid Cloud integration is sometimes needed to span integration between cloud-based solutions and on-premise enterprise applications.

Dynamics ERP & CRM

When running Dynamics ERP and CRM in the same

organization there is a need to intermediate application

programming interfaces (API) in order to allow real-time

and asynchronous business processes between systems.

Interfaces between systems help manage opportunity to

order conversion, address books, product information,

pricing, inventory visibility, order tracking, credit status

and much more.5

Integrating With Salesforce

Magic xpi Integration

Platform provides

capabilities for

automated integration

with the Salesforce API

including objects, CRM

metadata, bulk jobs,

replication and lead

conversion.

Salesforce Objects

Objects. A business

process integration

solution like Magic xpi

allows you to perform all

the required functions

with objects. When

working with

Salesforce.com objects,

you will want to be able

to get the timestamp of

any object, get the

objects list, update the

object structure and

perhaps even merge

objects

7

It is important to be able to dynamically get the objects list because of the ability of users and administrators to personalize the implementation.

Salesforce Metadata

Metadata Check State

Metadata Retrieve

Metadata CRUD

Metadata Deploy

8

Metadata. When working with Salesforce.com metadata,

you will want to check the status of any metadata

operation at any time. Obviously you will need

basic CRUD operations (Create, Read,

Update and Delete). And you will

need to be able to retrieve and

deploy metadata.

Salesforce Bulk Jobs

9

Bulk Check Job State

Bulk Retrieve

Job Results

Bulk Abort Job

Bulk Jobs. Going beyond these

basics, a sophisticated solution like

Magic Software’s Magic xpi

Integration Platform will give you

the capability to orchestrate bulk

jobs. These powerful batch

operations are key to efficiency

across multiple users of Salesforce.

You will want to be able to check

the status of bulk jobs, retrieve bulk

job results and even abort bulk

jobs.

Salesforce Replication

Replicate All Data

Replicate Last Updates

Replicate Last Deletes

10

Replication. Another key

requirement for many

organizations is the ability to

selectively replicate their

Salesforce.com data from the

cloud to a secure enterprise

storage server. With the Magic xpi

Integration Platform, you can

replicate data locally from your

salesforce.com implementation.

You can replicate all data or

simply last updates and last

deletes as part of a particular

Magic xpi business process flow.

Lead Conversion. In Salesforce.com

terminology, a lead is a potential customer

that you do not yet want to add to your

account list. Once a lead is ready to

become an account the user can convert

the lead which automatically creates an

account (the organization or company

record), a contact (the individual person

record) and optionally as an opportunity (the

specific potential deal being tracked).

Magic xpi Integration Platform is a good option for organizations that

need a flexible and scalable approach to on-premise, cloud, and mobile

application integration that does not require highly skilled or specialized

developers.
