Asynchronous Integration

▪ Asynchronous = “drop and run”

▪ Send data, but continue your own

process without worrying about what is

being done with the data in the Infor app.

▪ Commonly implemented via integration

middleware

I n f o r O S p r o v i d e s t h i s v i a I O N C o n n e c t

(8)

Synchronous Integration

▪ Synchronous = “I’m staying until

the job is done”

▪ Send data, and halt your own

process until the Infor app is done

processing the data.

▪ The most common implementation

is a web service or API

▪ Infor OS provides synchronous

connectivity via the ION API

through ION from A to B and no longer wrapped as

BODs in transit.
