How Boomi Helped
LinkedIn uses AtomSphere, Boomi’s Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) solution, to automate two critical business processes: LinkedIn automates their lead-to-cash process by integrating Salesforce.com Sales Cloud with Oracle eBusiness Suite, and they also automate a process they call Crystal Ball, which brings multiple, disparate data sources into Salesforce.com Sales Cloud to help the LinkedIn sales team identify high probability opportunities. Andres Bang, LinkedIn’s Head of Global Sales and Operations Systems, briefly discusses their experiences and provides a more extensive explanation.
