CRM integration solutions built from scratch to connect software that doesn’t have native declarative integration capabilities or require complex custom business logic or specific security requirements.
Key options:
Ready-made or easy-to-configure and typically cloud-based CRM integration solutions that enable companies to minimize implementation efforts, reduce upfront costs, and exchange growing data volumes thanks to cloud scalability.
Key options:
iPaaS (integration platform as a service) solutions
offering fully managed services
for cloud data integration, including
pre-built data connectors and low-code/no-code tools to facilitate integration setup via drag-and-drop
functionality.
The official marketplace for Salesforce apps, add-ons, and ready-to-use integrations with third-party products.
An integration platform by Salesforce providing tools for building custom APIs, along with a large library of off-the-shelf connectors with business apps and services.
A cloud integrations service that facilitates the access and modification of data stored outside your Salesforce org directly through web service callouts, without copying it into the org.
A data integration platform with pre-built connectors to ingest data from multiple data sources and consolidate it into Salesforce, especially for analytics.
Microsoft’s marketplace offering a rich selection of apps and out-of-the-box integrations for Dynamics 365.
Microsoft’s low-code/no-code platform providing tools like Power Automate to build integrations with external software.
A cloud computing platform that includes integration services like Azure Logic Apps (to access advanced integration options) and Azure API Management (to manage APIs across cloud and hybrid environments).
A cloud-based data management solution to integrate data across Microsoft products (Dynamics 365, Power Automate, Outlook, etc.).
A code-based integration option for pushing data to external systems, ideal when no-code alternatives like Power Automate can't effectively handle complex integration logic.
A RESTful web service interface to interact with data in Microsoft Dataverse through different programming languages or libraries.
Business analysis
Define your business goals and needs and analyze the systems, data assets, and business processes involved in CRM integration, including their interdependencies, to help define the project’s scope.
Design & planning
Outline integration requirements, approach, architecture, and data flows and select a suitable tech stack. Afterwards, establish the project’s main steps, timelines, budget, and resources required.
Execution
Develop custom integration solutions from scratch or set up out-of-the-box integrations to connect your CRM to the systems selected. Then, execute end-to-end integration QA and testing to ensure seamless real-time data flows.
Delivery & support
Deploy the integration to production, monitor the solution to resolve emerging issues and further optimize its operation, and perform regular upgrades as needed.
Depending on your specific business needs and tech environment, you need to select a suitable CRM integration architecture. A common option for small IT environments is the simple point-to-point model. Integration middleware, on the other hand, is more suitable for complex environments with multiple applications that can have compatibility issues.
Maintain detailed documentation of the integration solution, including its architecture, dependencies, data flows, and authentication mechanisms. This will simplify maintenance, troubleshooting, and upgrades in the future while fostering security and compliance.
Execute rigorous tests to identify compatibility, performance, security, or data corruption issues and ensure seamless communication between applications. You need to apply various testing techniques to assess important integration components, such as API rate limits to identify performance bottlenecks and authentication mechanisms to spot potential vulnerabilities.
Data integrity refers to data accuracy and consistency. Data exchange between your CRM and other applications can alter or corrupt data since every integrated system can store and process this data differently. Robust data governance policies and data validation techniques (such as data type checks) can help prevent this issue.
Integrating CRM and other applications into a cohesive ecosystem can introduce new cybersecurity vulnerabilities. To address this issue, implement robust protection mechanisms into your integration solution, including authentication and cryptographic protocols.
As your CRM user base grows and business processes get more complex, you’ll need an integration solution that is scalable and resilient enough to handle larger data transfers across applications. Techniques such as caching and message queuing can help in this regard.
Our experts can assist you through every stage of the CRM integration process, from business analysis and integration conceptualization to project roadmapping and supervision, helping overcome emerging roadblocks and speed up project implementation.
Our team builds custom integration solutions or sets up platform-based integrations in line with your requirements, ensures their performance through accurate testing, and offers on-demand maintenance, troubleshooting, and optimization to quickly address technical issues or enhance your integrated tech environment.
