4. My ‘Top 10’ tips for Cloud Integration
• Find the initial need – fund that, deploy that and grow.
• Have a strategy.
• Predict the need as best you can…
• Betting the mortgage.
• Cloud integration is ‘mission critical’ and needs 24x7 support.
• The market is moving rapidly.
• Customer requirements evolve mid-project.
• Hybrid is critical – very few ‘pure-play’ cloud architectures.
• Cloud integration is only one element of the need.
• Avoid the ‘technical trap’.

• Customer purchases through various channels.
• And under different customer duplicate records.

• All your customer-related data connects to Salesforce to create
your ultimate source of customer truth….
• You master the data to create a single customer view.
• Whilst maintaining the history and roots of that data.
• The data quality is tackled in Salesforce – the right telephone #,
address, email convention.
• Point of entry duplication is eliminated – creating uncontaminated
data across the platform.
• Data quality processes check consistency and are measured on
an on-going basis.
16. Integration is always the first step…

• Connect the data sources to Salesforce.

• Popular connections to Salesforce include the likes of:
• ERP platforms (SAP/MS/Oracle).
