Salesforce integrations
When it comes to integrations with other applications, Salesforce is well-known for its technology stack which allows the integration and synchronisation of multiple data sources, from both on premises and cloud applications, into one platform. Naturally, most companies will have such integrations implemented.
But how well do they manage and monitor all the users who are indirectly making use of Salesforce data? It’s very easy to lose track of all the licensing requirements if the indirect usage implications are not proactively monitored and controlled.
From a licensing perspective, any individuals making use of Salesforce through a different application should also be licensed for the Salesforce application that participates into the data transfer. Otherwise, Salesforce might apply retroactive charges to cover for the unlicensed usage generated.
