Real time integration with Dynamics SL — ctAPI™
isn't a file based or database tables only connection offering, instead it ties
directly to SL business logic ensuring any integrated activity not only represents
SL data correctly, but also obeys the business rules such as pricing, shipping,
order restrictions, etc. that you've defined. This ensures your business rules are
enforced everywhere you need them, and also greatly reduces integration issues by
not having to duplicate and maintain multiple sets of business logic.
Security and implimentation — Built from the
ground up to handle real world security issues, ctAPI™ provides a secure web
services architecture that keeps your SL business assets and corporate network far
away from the public internet while enabling Internet or Intranet solutions to authorized
parties. The architecture allows for not only a secure implimentation, but also
the flexibility to work with firewalls, DMZs, outsourced hosting, and a wide variety
of configuration options.
