The document discusses integrating QuickBooks with Salesforce. There are two main ways to integrate them - using an app like Intuit or Avankia, or custom integration using Intuit's SDK. When integrating, considerations include which versions are being integrated, goals of the integration, update frequency, triggers, user permissions, Salesforce edition, and whether the workflows match between the two systems.

integrating? Do you want a
one way integration or a two
way, i.e. do you want a
system that only retrieves
information from one product
to another or a system that
can allow users to change
the value in both systems.

14. INTEGRATING SALESFORCE WITH QUICKBOOKS
• What is the edition of Salesforce
that you are using? Salesforce.com
Enterprise Edition and Unlimited
Edition provide integration API’s and
Professional edition will only work if
the product has been certified to
work with QuickBooks. Group
editions generally do not work with
out-of-the-box integration
techniques so you may have to
upgrade the edition.

15. INTEGRATING SALESFORCE WITH QUICKBOOKS
• Most importantly, what is the on integration?
You may have to estimate the time your integration will save and multiply it by the
hourly wage of the employee whose time the integration is saving.
Then subtract the integration cost and licenses cost.
If the final numbers are negative then the only reason would be to improve
customer satisfaction but then that you may have to consider accordingly.
Also consider payback period if the final number are positive.

16. INTEGRATING SALESFORCE WITH QUICKBOOKS
• Does the Salesforce configuration and
QuickBooks business process workflow
match and can be integrated? To check this
you should make sure that custom fields are
there in both Salesforce and QuickBooks
products.
• Many times if the developers of both products
are different, there are some clashes related
to incompatible value fields and missing
value fields.
