FinancialForce.com Announces Out-of-the-Box SAP Integration for Sharing Financial Data


(Market Wire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) SAN MATEO, CA and HARROGATE, UK -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 03/23/10 -- FinancialForce.com, the global leader in online cloud accounting solutions built natively on the Force.com platform from salesforce.com, today announced that it has partnered with SKYVVA, a German specialist in SAP and salesforce.com integration, to develop an out-of-the-box solution for delivering FinancialForce Accounting data into SAP Financials.



The integration will be demonstrated for the first time at Cloudforce Frankfurt today and will offer significant benefits to a number of organizations including: Those using FinancialForce.com to account for the salesforce.com Service Cloud to pass data into SAP. Those wanting to move subsidiaries into the cloud while maintaining use of SAP Financials at the head office. Dispersed organizations wanting to integrate franchises into the organization using SAP at the head office.

The integration will enable these companies to easily and securely pass financial data relating to opportunities, sales and work orders in the form of invoices into SAP Financials, which will record the data and produce the necessary sales and cash records. In this way, FinancialForce.com will provide out-of-the-box integration, where it will generate balanced financial transactions for business processes in the cloud and integrate that with existing on-premises technology infrastructures.


"We are being approached by a number of large organizations that are using ERP systems such as SAP, that want to quickly and easily generate financial transactions from their salesforce.com applications and present them for posting to their on-premises ERP applications," said Jeremy Roche, President and CEO of FinancialForce.com. "This is an example of creating a hybrid solution between cloud-based and on-premises applications, where the benefits of deploying in the cloud can help to quickly deliver a solution and complement existing technology infrastructures. This approach simplifies integration and ensures that all business processes are completed and accounted for, and that there are no lost transactions, such as unbilled customers. SKYVVA's expertise and integration suite built natively on Force.com has enabled FinancialForce.com to deliver a compelling integration for which we can see many different applications for a diverse range of businesses."
