Client is a US-based premium provider of prosthetics and orthotics, with operations and presence in India as well
Client had its data scattered across various repositories, including its indigenous CRM system, flat files, CSVs and local database
Client needed disparate data integration and periodic data migration for its US and Indian division
For its US operations, the client needed a 2 way integration between client’s local database and its Zoho-based CRM
For its India operations, client needed the data in its Zoho-based CRM to be extracted at a FTP location at regular, pre-defined intervals

Visual Studio 10
.NET Framework 3.5

Eternus Solutions reviewed the client’s business requirements and its disparate, distributed data repositories
The Eternus Solutions team came up with different approaches for the data integration and migration requirements for client’s US and Indian arms of operations
For the US unit, Eternus Solutions team worked on a two-way integration between client’s Zoho-based CRM and its local database
This integration was near real-time, with set, pre-defined intervals for data sync
The client needed the data in the Zoho CRM system to reflect in the local database also, as the local database was synced with client’s other back-end systems. For this sync, a windows service was written and executed to integrate the data from Lead and Account objects in Zoho CRM into the local database and vice versa.
For the Indian unit, the client needed the data from its Zoho CRM to be extracted at an FTP location in a CSV format at pre-defined, configured time intervals.
Eternus Solutions provided an XML configuration file to the client in order to enable them to change the time interval, if needed.
The system needed to automatically pick up data from the Zoho system based on any updates. For this purpose, a Windows service was written and executed.
