When building an enterprise solution or creating an app, data often comes from multiple systems, and business processes frequently cross application boundaries.
Salesforce offers a rich library of programmatic and point-and-click integration tools to customize business processes that span multiple application systems. In this webinar, we will survey the many integration options and technologies available in Salesforce, including newer API and integration features.
This webinar is the first in a series that will explore several ways to integrate systems and services with Salesforce.
