What can I do with CB Linked Server?

CB Linked Server has a wide array of applications. Here are some use cases and scenarios:

Move to the Cloud
You can move to a private cloud, a public cloud or a mixed cloud in a smooth and problem-free way.

Migrate a Legacy System
Don't lose your current integrations. It is popular with our customers to use CB Linked Server when moving to SAP S/4HANA, to Dynamics 365 Business Central or to Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations as it allows them to maintain the legacy systems they have in place. But the same principle can be applied to many other target systems.

Integrate with a Data Warehouse
You can have a central data warehouse with multiple legacy systems feeding it by using multiple Connect Bridge connectors. You can also get data from that warehouse back into some systems if needed.

How does it work?

CB Linked Server is an integration solution based on the Connect Bridge platform. If you think Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio is a powerful tool, check out how using CB Linked Server makes it even more powerful!

Here is what you need to do, step by step:

Step 1: Install the Connect Bridge Platform
Self-hosted, either on-premises or your virtual machine = you have full control
Step 2: Configure Connect Bridge for your target system
This works for 400+ target systems = you have a lot to choose from
Step 3: Create a Linked Server in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
You can do the configuration in a matter of minutes = you don't waste any time
Step 4: Type your SQL queries and use stored procedures
Use standard SQL statements (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) or the stored procedures provided instead of calls to the software API = you avoid studying the API documentation

Why Synchronization Matters

Connect to the Target System you want

We support a vast number of target systems, such as Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SharePoint, Microsoft Dynamics or SAP. There is no need to study the documentation for each system’s API. SQL language is enough for CB Linked Server.

Choose One-way or Two-ways

CB Linked Server for Applications gives you the ability to grab the data from your target application, let’s say Microsoft Dynamics 365. Even better, you can also write back to it! Yes, you can actually choose between one-way or two-ways!

Fast deployment

CB Linked Server can be set up and running in just a few moments. Integration of all the corporate data you need will be super quick. You’ll need to see it to believe how fast it is.

100% control

Finally, the power is in your hands! Once you have the data in Microsoft SQL Server, you can work with it as you desire: build cubes, analyze the data, connect to a legacy system, really whatever you want!

Benefits

Easy to Learn

SQL syntax knowledge is more than enough for the integration process. Use simple SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE statements for your integration needs.

Use Your Team

Handle all your business software integrations in-house, with your current team. They can quickly become integration heroes with Connect Bridge.

Keep Your Data Secure

You visualize all entities as database tables, but what you see is not the actual database. This approach protects your data and respects all your existing business and security principles.

Who is this for?

CB Linked Server is perfect for those that focus on the data and use Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio:

Database administrators

System and IT Administrators
ISVs and System Integrators
Business and Data Analysts
Software developers

Looking for this solution but without Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio? Then Connect Bridge is the answer.

Architecture

CB Linked Server is self-hosted

You can choose to have it either on-premises or on a virtual machine.

We have 400+ connectors available, which means you can connect to 400+ target systems. Popular choices include Microsoft Dynamics, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SharePoint, Salesforce and SAP, but many, many more connectors are at your disposal.
