Saas Integration Plattforms

We have used Cast Iron to connect some of our legacy on-premise applications with Salesfore.com. It has a set of pre-configured templates for the most common integration scenarios, and uses a drag and drop approach.

It also lets us graphically define the flow of data between source and target applications, and set up business logic rules.

It's expensive though which is why we don't give it the highest level review...

The integration process with Cast Iron was great from the sales process to the implementation. The sales team did a great job understanding our business need and ensured the features met our specific business requirements. The Cast Iron approach of teach to fish was great. My staff received has on training through real integration scenarios. This process shortened the learn curve and enable my staff to become proficient in a short period of time. During the integration process our company used Cast Iron’s QSIP process. This process provided resources from the Cast Iron professional service team to support our implementation from design, development and integrations. Our company’s current configuration is used to link Salesforce.com with Oracle EBS 12.1.2.

Works Well For Simple To Medium Complexity Integrations

We used Cast Iron Professional Services back in 2007 to get started using the tool. We had our first integration between Salesforce.com and SAP completed in 2 weeks. We used a SAP Developer and a business analyst to complete the project. Since that time we have deployed nearly 100 "orchestrations" and connected many different systems.

In all, the system has proved to be a key platform for us when it comes to simple to medium complexity integrations that are done in 1-5 days.
