Using the

Force.com Integration APIs

It’s easy to build silo applications in the cloud.

Failed integration is a leading cause of unsuccessful cloud projects

Ideally, systems are connected efficiently

regardless of location.

SOAP APIs are easy to consume and work well with existing tools.

REST APIs are ideal for modern, mobile applications.

The Bulk API is a good fit for bulk data transfer.

Break time!

OutboundIntegration

Streaming API Custom ApexOutbound Messaging

The Streaming API gives you real-time access to data changes.

Write custom Apex code to consume synchronous or asynchronous services.

Outbound Messaging is great for sending messages out of

Salesforce.com to external systems.

Many tools now integrate with the Force.com API to make integration easier.
