TIM’s Tip: Netsuite Integration - Unset a field

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

When building or developing an integration to Netsuite, you may need to unset a field.

For system fields and custom fields, the approach is different.

For system fields, you can send an empty phone tag to Netsuite. For example:

TIM’s Tip: Magento Integration

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

if your application is not listed in Magento connect or you need to build a custom integration process, here are some options that you may find helpful:

Magento API

You can access the majority of the modules using the Magento Core API. It supports both SOAP and XML RPC protocols.  In addtion you can also create your own API.

Magento Database (Mysql)

If you are connecting to Magento via the database, it’s important to study the relational diagram in advance and understand the dependencies. This approach will be vulnerable if the database schema changes during future upgrades, requiring you to update your integration as well.

Integration Platform

In addition to the approaches described above, you can also integrate to Magento using an integration platform such as Boomi Atomsphere. Boomi uses an XML format to interchange data between applications. This approach results in a robust and easily maintained integration.

Any form of use-case with Magento can be integrated. Here are some use-case scenarios that we have implemented to date:

  • Integrate Mangento with GreatPlains (CRM/ERP)
  • Integrate Mangento with SmartTurn (Inventory Management Software)
  • Integrate Magento with Netsuite (CRM/ERP)
  • Integrate Magento with Salesforce (CRM)

If you need any more details on how to integrate with Magento feel free to contact us.

TIM’s Tip: JIRA Studio Integration

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

The new JIRA 4.0 connector we have developed also supports JIRA Studio because JIRA Studio API is identical to the remote APIs shipped with the JIRA’s standalone version.

If you are integrating JIRA studio with another Cloud based application such as Salesforce, Netsuite, etc, you can also choose to deploy your integration processes in the Cloud environment. By doing this, it can save you time and cost to maintain an integration server.

Drop us an email to find out more about how we can help you.
