5 ways to ensure a fast and robust Salesforce - Microsoft Dynamics NAV integration

How do we, as a provider of Microsoft Dynamics NAVB ensure fast, smooth and robust data integration between Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics NAV (for example Microsoft Dynamics NAV , 2009, 2013, or  any other version of the solution)?

1. Data integration templates: We deliver pre-built integration templates that contain the most common integration points. This gets you started quickly and enables you to make further customizations to match you exact needs and requirements.
2. Fast and secure connection: The RapidiOnline Services run with a unique technology called the RapidiConnector that ensures compressed and secure data transfer between RapidiOnline and the different on premise systems. Your data is compressed and encrypted to increase efficiency and security.
3. Straight-forward deployment: The RapidiConnector resides in your on premise network connecting outbound to the central RapidiOnline Service and enables two-way communication between RapidiOnline and your legacy systems. This has the advantage that you don’t have to change anything in your network or firewalls in order to deploy RapidiOnline integration.
4. Optimized and efficient data transfers: The communication between RapidiOnline and the RapidiConnector is using a proprietary protocol which is highly efficient in terms of maximum reduction of the total amount of data and the number of packages sent and received. Furthermore the package is compressed before sending. This results in the most efficient data transfer. This method has proven to be able to reduce the amount of data needed to be sent by a factor of up to 50.
5. Secure encrypted communications: Because of the proprietary protocol and the compression it is practically impossible to decipher the data transmitted. This increases security. If extra security is needed the data can also be encrypted.
