Businesses today are looking for best-of-breed solutions for every aspect of their operations in order to improve efficiency and accuracy across the board. Often, companies will choose products from a variety of vendors based on the functionality it provides, forming a custom technology stack that conforms to the way they do business.
Many businesses choose Salesforce for their customer relationship management because of its many powerful features, streamlined workflow, and Einstein Analytics, to name a few reasons. However, since Salesforce doesn’t produce a companion ERP solution, companies must look elsewhere for the needed functionality, and many choose Microsoft Dynamics 365 to fill the gap.
Since Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics come from different software providers, why would you want to integrate them? And how can you get them to talk to each other?
Why Integrate Salesforce with Dynamics 365?
While avoiding vendor lock-in keeps a business agile and able to adapt to changing needs, it does create a significant challenge – systems integration. Without it, you begin to suffer the negative effects of disparate systems, such as data silos.
Avoid data silos. If your sales department is collecting customer, sales, and order data in your CRM solution while your operations staff are working with customer and order data in a separate system, you’ll be dealing with double-entry of data, since those areas overlap. Human error factors in, leading to “dirty data.” Another problem is that one department doesn’t have access to the other department’s critical data.

On the other hand, you can use a no-code solution, such as the , to create an integration between your applications that will ensure an accurate, 2-way flow of data that eliminates double entry and the inevitable human error involved while ensuring that everyone in your organization has access to the critical business data they need.
