Workshop Introduction
As a developer/architect/consultant, you are tasked with delivering the business outcomes for your customers using the Anypoint platform and its capabilities. The companies you support are leaning into composability and how it will enable them to drive key business processes in their organizations. These companies struggle to balance the diminishing resources on their IT teams with their growing business technologies who want to tackle various technical improvements without guardrails.
Your next customer, NexGenFitness (NGF), seeks to automate several business processes including their order to cash process for their subscription business. Before that can happen, they need to load lists of new contacts into Salesforce from their pipeline generating marketing activities. Additionally, NGF must load new product offerings and their pricing structures into the MySQL subscription database. Next, they need to replicate this customer and product/pricing data in their enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution, NetSuite. This will ensure that any changes that happen within any source the updates will be shared with the appropriate destination. Finally, they need to execute a streamlined automated process for generating invoices in NetSuite. The current Mule applications work but are not optimized for performance and are error prone.
Compelling Event/Desired Outcome:
-
NextGen Fitness (NGF) needs to populate their Salesforce instance with the contact data and load product and pricing data into MySQL subscription database.
-
Any changes to the data in these systems will need to be propagated to the other systems (i.e., NetSuite)
-
An order to cash business process must be enabled in real-time using the loaded data.
