Anypoint Data Gateway allows users to integrate data from legacy back-office systems like SAP, Oracle, and SQL into Salesforce using a simple visual interface. It supports connecting to various data sources and automatically retrieves metadata to simplify the integration process. Users can install Data Gateway via the Salesforce AppExchange and then use the point-and-click designer to create and publish gateways to external data sources and view existing objects.

Overview
Anypoint Data Gateway allows you to quickly and easily integrate data
stored in legacy back-office systems with Salesforce. Data Gateway lets
you access your data from within Salesforce itself, using a simple point-
and-click visual interface to wield the full functionality of Salesforce on your
external data.

3. 2
Data Gateway supports integration with systems such as SAP, Oracle, MS
SQL, MySQL and others. Connecting to these systems is instantaneous –
just fill in the parameters such as host, user, etc. and you’re done. The
ability to quickly connect with diverse back-office systems eliminates the
need to create separate design environments, or to implement extensive
training for Salesforce users.

Data Gateway is a Salesforce package which you install via Salesforce
AppExchange. After you isntall the package, you can access the Data
Gateway Designer, which allows you to quickly and easily create a new
gateway to your desired external data source. After you’ve configured your
gateway, you can publish it – make it available to the external entities that
you specify – as well as see existing objects in your data source, and
create new objects.
