Preface

Integration architecture


As enterprises move toward using more more specialized applications rather than having an ERP do everything for them, you need a robust framework and strategy to manage integrations within the ERP system. Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations, Enterprise edition provides robust frameworks and functionalities to integrate with third-party applications using modern techniques. Integration framework is completely changed in Dynamics 365 for Operation from the earlier version. In previous versions, Application Integration Framework (AIF) was the main integration platform of integration with third-party applications. AIF used SOAP-based XML technology and had the following drawbacks:

  • SOAP message exchanges are bulky and not suitable for cloud-based integration
  • The AIF framework has performance overhead
  • The duplication of business logic due to different frameworks for integration (AIF) and data management (DIXF)
