› Can Integration Bridge be tailored to specific needs?

Customizing the mapping is easy and intuitive.

Pick a destination field, then choose the field in the source data that you want the data to come from. There is no need to know business objects or database field names; it is all in plain language.

Alternatively, pick a destination field, then enter a constant value that you want to populate this field.

Depending on your requirements ,mappings may require logic to be built-in, which can be achieved by defining your own integration function in the function editor which provides the business objects and the data fields that you need in understandable terms.

The function editor utilizes the C# coding principles so mappings may be as elaborate or as simple as you would like!

For completely unique integration requirements Nolan Computers’ Integration Bridge for Microsoft CRM is engineered so that additional integrations can be easily added through the application of custom plug-in components.
