ERP Bridge now supports OData: unlocking Cloud ERP integration

In the rapidly evolving world of enterprise technology, integrating systems seamlessly is critical for success. ERP Bridge, our robust solution for connecting HubSpot to ERP or other applications, has taken a major leap forward. With its newly added support for OData (Open Data Protocol), ERP Bridge now empowers businesses to integrate cloud-based ERP solutions more efficiently than ever before.

The importance of OData for ERP systems

OData is an open protocol that enables the creation and consumption of interoperable and queryable RESTful APIs in a simple and standard way. Microsoft created OData in 2007 and it is especially valuable for cloud-based applications, as it provides:

1. Standardization: a unified approach to querying and manipulating data across platforms. 

2. Interoperability: seamless communication between different systems, including; in our case, ERP Bridge and ERPs.

3. Flexibility: compatibility with modern formats like JSON and AtomPub for efficient data handling.

4. Real-time access: up-to-date data across integrated systems, essential for decision-making and reporting.

ERP Bridge’s new capability: supporting Cloud-based ERP systems via OData

Previously, ERP Bridge excelled at integrating on-premises ERP systems through custom solutions like ODBC connections. Now, with OData support, ERP Bridge can effortlessly integrate cloud-based ERP systems such as NetSuite, SAP Business ByDesign, Microsoft Dynamics 365, and others.

Here’s how this new functionality benefits businesses:

1. Cloud ERP integration made easy

   With OData support, ERP Bridge can now connect directly to ERP systems hosted in the cloud. This eliminates the need for complex middleware or additional infrastructure, making integration faster and more cost-effective.

2. Improved data synchronization

   OData allows ERP Bridge to synchronize data in real time, ensuring that cloud-based ERP systems remain up-to-date with HubSpot. 

   Broader ERP compatibility

   Many leading ERP providers natively support OData, making it easier than ever for ERP Bridge to connect to a wider range of systems. 

3. Enhanced scalability

   As businesses adopt more cloud-based solutions, ERP Bridge’s OData support ensures that integrations can grow alongside them. The protocol’s open standard nature makes it suitable for handling increased data volumes and more complex workflows.

4. Simplified setup and maintenance

   Using OData simplifies the integration process, reducing technical barriers and IT resource requirements. ERP Bridge provides customizable synchronization rules to tailor the integration, ensuring a smooth setup process for any cloud ERP system. 

5. Optimize costs and resources

   Simplified integration means fewer upfront and ongoing expenses for technical setup and maintenance.

Conclusion

The addition of OData support to ERP Bridge marks a significant milestone for businesses seeking seamless cloud ERP integration. By enabling direct communication with cloud-based systems, ERP Bridge empowers organizations to enhance data accessibility, streamline operations, and future-proof their IT ecosystems. 

As cloud adoption continues to rise, ERP Bridge’s commitment to embracing open standards like OData ensures that businesses remain agile and competitive in a digital-first world.
