Reflection automatically creates a near perfect mirror image of your Salesforce.com database on a SQL Server database. Reflection is a Windows .NET application developed by Riptide that runs continuously as a Windows Service and monitors all database changes, both data changes and structural changes, in your Salesforce.com database and makes the corresponding change within SQL Server.
Do you need a simple, trouble-free way to get your Salesforce.com data onto your local systems?
Riptide Reflection is the answer.
Reflection creates a near perfect mirror image of your Salesforce.com database on any SQL Server 2005 instance. Reflection was developed using Microsoft .NET version 3.5 and runs continuously as a Windows Service on Windows 2000 Server or later.
Reflection installs completely in just a few minutes and requires minimal configuration and maintenance. Reflection requires only three pieces of information to run: SQL Server login information, Salesforce.com login information and the desired frequency of replication. Once running, Reflection automatically moves data from Salesforce.com and modifies the structure of the SQL Server database to reflect any changes made to Salesforce.com fields or objects including the addition of custom fields and objects.
Features/Benefits:
- Intelligent Replication Reflection monitors Salesforce.com continuously and keeps SQL Server in sync. Reflection is aware of any and all changes that occur in Salesforce.com and updates SQL Server to reflect the changes automatically and without the need for user intervention. There is never a need for data mapping and Salesforce.com administrators can make changes to Salesforce.com without disrupting the replication process.
- Simplify Reporting & Analysis Having a local copy of your Salesforce.com data allows your developers and analysts to access your data using tools and techniques they are familiar with. There is also no need for training to learn to use any proprietary data access languages or data access tools.
- Simplify Integration Reflection brings all the salesforce.com data into your local environment allowing your organization to easily move Salesforce.com data into other systems without developing custom web services code.
- Share Sales Information More Easily Share sales and customer information with the people inside and outside your organization who need it but do not have direct access to Salesforce.com due to business rules and security controls.
- No Training Necessary Reflection requires no special training to install and configure and once running does not require any user interaction.
- Improved Data Access Performance / Indexing Your Database Administrators will be able to tune and optimize SQL Server to improve the performance of queries and reports.
