Salesforce Mulesoft
MuleSoft has been part of the Salesforce family for more than two years. During that time, we’ve been helping companies achieve digital transformation by easily connecting all their business systems. So, what does MuleSoft do? Let’s explore the powerful world of integration.
MuleSoft brings a new unified solution for automation, integration, and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) that easily automates any workflow and system for your team. It helps your team to quickly adapt to constant change and business complexity. This makes it easy to consolidate data to deliver a single view of the customer to build connected experiences.
The solution now includes no-code capabilities to automate repetitive manual tasks using bots with MuleSoft RPA (robotic process automation). It can quickly connect data from any system, such as Slack with MuleSoft Composer. The new capabilities are fully integrated into Salesforce Flow, a comprehensive suite of automation technologies across the Customer 360 to increase efficiency and productivity and deliver unparalleled experiences.
This expanded MuleSoft capabilities facilitate co-creation and accelerate innovation across IT and business teams. Business teams such as sales can close deals more efficiently and service reps can quickly sync customer records to improve customer service interactions.
The results speak for themselves. Salesforce customers are creating 4.8 billion MuleSoft transactions daily and this saves over 100 billion hours of work every month with Salesforce Flow. Forrester found that MuleSoft customers realise an ROI of 445% within just three years and were able to free up 90% of developer time from maintaining APIs and integrations.
Here is an overview of some core components of MuleSoft as an integration tool:
CloudHub: An enterprise-class cloud-based integration platform that allows organizations to utilize Anypoint Connectors to develop integration flows that connect applications and create new APIs, in addition to existing data sources. CloudHub makes it possible to connect with SaaS and on-premises applications and services at cloud speed.
Anypoint Connector: A library of reusable extensions that allow MuleSoft to integrate with both legacy and SaaS systems to enable seamless data processes. With access to multiple APIs, businesses can build connectivity and deliver real-time data across the business ecosystem.
DataWeave: Powered by the data language and designed to filter, extract, and transform one or more different types of data together to create another data format, such as XML and Java to JSON. DataWeave supports a wide range of file types, including flat and structured data, which provides flexibility that can help the businesses cope with systems using different data formats per process.
Database Connectivity: The Database Connector can be downloaded from Anypoint Connectors to establish a connection with almost any relational database and perform SQL queries. This allows the organizations to access the data in the database without writing additional code to bypass the authentications.
