Implications of a consistency oriented sync API in an ERP to cloud integration library a case study
Enterprise software is being pushed further towards the cloud and mobile technological trends, keeping application integration as one of the most challenging topics. The writing introduces a cloud based Field Service Management solution, productively deployed in a world wide distributed environment, to serve as a case study. It then continues by outlining practical contributions that have been made towards its empowerment to integrate with various enterprise systems, materialized into the implementation of a cloud communication library wrapping a standard web based API, that was exposed to solution partners for integrating new ERPs with the cloud. The high level drawbacks and limitations of this approach are sketched in respect to the contributions the library brings to the master to master integration application domain.
