DBSync- An accounting and warehousing staple
IPaas,Paas,Iaas- A refresher
To stay in the clear of things, let’s start with some taxonomy to avoid conflating the ever-increasing list of Xaas(Anything as a service) products.
For instance, AWS and Heroku are examples of Iaas and Paas, respectively, with the latter built over the former. Iaas provides flexible instances and resource-control, whereas Paas optimizes over them.
By contrast, Integration platform as a service (iPaaS) is a collection of automated enablements to connect applications deployed over different environments. It’s often used by vast B2B businesses to integrate (or consolidate) applications hosted on local and cloud servers.
An Introduction to DBSync
If you’re someone that deals with accounting on the regular, there’s a decent chance you’ve fiddled with DBSync’s Quickbooks at least. This shouldn’t come as a surprise since it’s helped many firms move to accrual accounting from managing(read mishandling) cash registers. This becomes astronomically important for businesses that work in spaces where success hinges on invoicing speeds, like event management.
Overall, DBSync is a user-friendly, time-saving Cloud Replication tool used primarily for accounting. It also comes with data loss prevention, scheduling presets, and email notifications for automated replication and synchronization.
Some background
Based out of Nashville, Tennessee, with centers in San Francisco, California, and Bangalore, its offerings cater primarily to accounting.
It spun off from a service project that identified a gap between Salesforce and Quickbooks. The platform solution has since pitched itself at small and medium enterprises for eCommerce and DataWarehousing, in that order.
Furthermore, its Cloud Workflow streamlines crucial operations like Order-to-Cash, Procure-to-Pay, and Payment integration.
Today, you can backup, warehouse, and recover data faster without any data loss, comply with all regulations (like SOX and FINRA ), seed Sandboxes, copy data to other Salesforce instances, and replicate into pretty much any local DBMS or cloud, for all chosen Salesforce objects and vice-versa.
It works equally well on any combination of data serving arrangements.
Quickbooks
Probably its most prolific product, Current variants of Intuit’s Quickbooks include QuickBooks Desktop and Online, Microsoft® Dynamics GP & NAV
- Fuelling Finance and Accounting
Quickbooks relevant capabilities, as a product, stand apart from its other DBSync cousins and warrant special mention.
Primarily, it helps integrate Salesforce instances to Quickbooks with orders and fulfillment.
Keeping Up With Vendor Competition Through New Integrations
As an expanding vendor, its responses in community forums for upgrades and support are famously prompt, as are its responses for integration requests.
Even more, the integrations from the Salesforce partner have flexible mappings for integrations with Salesforce Orgs as well as a host of applications.
More recently, (and in a continuing trend,) the new connectors let companies connect between several ERP solutions. At the same time, they’re customizable and come with a two-weeks trial-period. More broadly, here’s what they cover:
- For Microsoft Dynamics 365
Supports a broad spectrum of datasets for ERP, CRM, and Online Retail. As per Rajeev Gupta, DBSync’s founder, this was as a result of an overwhelming request for Microsoft support.
- For Vend
Additionally, solutions now support communications between Vend and other ERPs that lets businesses sync invoicing and bills.
Recent Headway
More recently, DBSync featured in Inc. Magazine’s Annual List of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies. This is against a backdrop of an explosion in IPaas vendors like Breadwinner.
- Surging onward as a leading IPaas
Besides Inc. Magazine, as validation of its work in the IPaas space, it saw inclusion in Gartner quadrants, and no small feat, for 3 years running.
