Salesforce.com和database.com集成

Question

We are designing a project in which we plan to use 20 SFDC users (managers) and more than 100 database.com light users (salesmen). The idea is that the SDFC users will use the site to see reports and so on, while the others will use our mobile software which relies on API calls to create orders and similar.

I never used database.com before and I am quite a newbie with force.com. I just created a db.com account but I have no idea on how I can connect the two systems together. I want the both types of users to access to the same records, so if a salesman creates an order the manager can see this order in the reports and the online tools. How can achieve that? I there any limitation I should be aware of?

Thanks!

Answer 1

See if these proprietary websites have a public API.

The only way you can interface with them is through an API, or via really hackish script which simulate a web browser. Thus if they don't have a public API, you should call the appropriate department on their Contact Us page.
