Interface Touchpoints between the Cloud and the Ground

" It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness; it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity; it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness; it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair; we had everything before us, we had nothing before us; we were all going directly to Heaven, we were all going the other way." (Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities)

These words may resonate with the business analyst tasked to integrate JD Edwards with Salesforce.com.

On the one hand, both JD Edwards and Salesforce.com were designed with a certain amount of openness and loose coupling to allow for integration and interoperability. This is wisdom, this is light, this is hope. On the other hand, completely divergent table structures and lack of any direct integration means that most organizations seeking that integration plunge headfirst into deep technical programming efforts. This is foolishness, this is darkness, this is despair.
Fortunately, a solution exists that allows you to automate the design of business processes that span the chasm between JD Edwards ERP which is usually running in a data center and Salesforce.com CRM which runs in the cloud.
