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

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).
