- #13 The first and arguably most important point is the OmniConnect platform provides complete functionality to connect all applications in your enterprise. It is the only platform available that provides a complete flexibility in deployment options. In other words, you can build, run and manage an integration between applications such as SFDC and SAP and deploy it using a physical on-premise appliance, a virtual appliance, or completely in our multi-tenant cloud service. It is the only solution that allows for this choice of deployment using the same product and code-base interchangeably. Because of this, it is futureproof, meaning you can start off with one form-factor today, and easily move to another one over-time to scale to your IT strategies. The second advantage OmniConnect offers is total connectivity. This means not just industry leading SaaS and enterprise applications-over 150 to date, but every type of database, custom applications, web services and connectivity protocol. Another important feature is reusability. OmniConnect provides a user-friendly template-based approach via the Template Integration Process or TIP. These are templates of common integration scenarios which can be used as a starting-point for your integration projects. You are not alone in your integration needs and should not have to reinvent the wheel. OmniConnect gives you the benefit of previous success and best-practices available through our community of customers. Finally, this is one platform for all types of integration projects. You can use OmniConnect for data migration, process integration or even for UI mashups for taking relevant data from a backoffice application, such as SAP and displaying it witrhin a commonly used front-office application such as SFDC.
- #14 So, to quickly recap, the value of this complete solutions translates to lower risk, Saving time and costs associated with building and deploying connectors for each new project and having one platform for all types of integration projects means an increased ROI and lower TCO.
- #17 It is because of the reliability that this complete functional set that the application vendors themselves trust Cast Iron to form strategic partnerships. In fact, he world’s leading cloud megabrands are partnering with Cast Iron; working closely with us to solve the issues of integration for their customers. We’re the only integration provider today that can provide the benefit of all these partnerships.
- #18 The third factor that sets OmniConnect apart from competing solutions is that it is proven with thousands of customer integrations and a wide portfolio of customer success cases. So, we can prove by previous success how we can solve your particular integration scenario.
- #20 To recap from the demo, we want to ensure you understand the value of the ability of our solution to accomplish your integration project. OmniConnect a proven solution; chosen by more SFDC customers than any other vendor. Not surprisingly, it is trusted not only by Salesforce.com, but by every other industry-leading application vendor in the world, who rely on us to be their strategic integration partner.
