One Key for Many Use Cases

As a data connector for Salesforce, K2view unlocks, integrates, and delivers enterprise data to Salesforce, quickly and securely – from any data source, in any technology. It unifies fragmented enterprise data in real time, to fuel Salesforce operational use cases, including:

Any Data Source, Any Data Delivery Method

Based on an open Data Product Platform that collects, processes, and delivers quality data to Salesforce cloud applications in real time, the K2View Data Connector for Salesforce supports REST APIs, message bus, and OData – for instant data access at massive scale.

K2View Enterprise Data Connector for Salesforce – all the data you need,
from any source, to any Salesforce cloud application.

Quick to implement and easy to adapt, K2View integrates to all enterprise data sources – structured and unstructured, in any technology – then unifies, transforms, and enriches the data using no-code data orchestration tools.

The Secret Sauce Behind the Open Architecture

K2View Data Product Platform organizes fragmented data from disparate systems according to data product schemas – one schema per business entity – customer, location, party, device, or anything else that’s important to the operations.

The data product unifies everything a company knows about the customer – including all interactions, transactions and master data – regardless of the underlying source systems, technologies, and data formats.

Data Product Platform ingests, transforms, enriches, orchestrates, and secures data (via embedded data masking tools) into individual, encrypted Micro-Databases™ – one per customer. This creates an integrated layer of connected data for each customer instance, representing a unified 360 customer platform for Salesforce.

Data Product Platform is scalable to support hundreds of millions of Micro-Databases concurrently, in a high-performance data fabric architecture, data mesh architecture, or data hub architecture, and may be deployed on-premises, in the cloud (iPaaS), or across hybrid environments. All told, this makes it an extremely versatile enterprise data connector for Salesforce.

The K2View Micro-Database delivers a single view of the business entity to Salesforce.

The K2Value for Salesforce Customers

As a data connector for Salesforce, K2View:

  • Liberates source system data

  • Delivers a real-time, holistic view of the customer and any other entity

  • Allows for bi-directional data flow

  • Accelerates adoption of Salesforce functionality

A Partnership by Popular Demand

K2View released its certified data connector for Salesforce following demand by many of our large enterprise clients which had decided to migrate to the Salesforce CRM but were also looking for a seasoned data integrator to make it all happen. The rest is history. The first integration with Salesforce was completed in a few weeks. Today, new projects, based on existing data libraries, are up and running in a few hours.
