Salesforce Data 360 Drivers & Connectors for Data Integration

The Salesforce Data 360 driver acts like a bridge that facilitates communication between various applications and Salesforce Data 360, allowing the application to read, write, and update data as if it were a relational database. The Salesforce Data 360 driver abstracts the complexities of Salesforce Data 360 APIs, authentication methods, and data types, making it simple for any application to connect to Salesforce Data 360 data in real-time via standard SQL queries.

Working with a Salesforce Data 360 Driver is different than connecting with Salesforce Data 360 through other means. Salesforce Data 360 API integrations require technical experience from a software developer or IT resources. Additionally, due to the constant evolution of APIs and services, once you build your integration you have to constantly maintain Salesforce Data 360 integration code moving forward.

We manage all of the complexities of Salesforce Data 360 integration within each driver and deploy updated drivers as systems evolve so your applications continue to run seamlessly.

Many organizations draw attention to their library of connectors. After all, data connectivity is a core capability needed for applications to maximize their business value. However, it is essential to understand exactly what you are getting when evaluating connectivity. Some vendors are happy to offer connectors that implement basic proof-of-concept level connectivity. These connectors may highlight the possibilities of working with Salesforce Data 360, but often only provide a fraction of capability. Finding real value from these connectors usually requires additional IT or development resources.
