Sync data between Sage 300 People and BizMerlinHR
BizMerlinHR’s connector enables clients to push employee information in both ways either from BizMerlinHR to Sage 300 People or vice versa. This can be locally installed where Sage 300 is accessible and based on the permissions given by the Sage system, the connector will perform respective tasks.
BizMerlinHR – Sage 300 People Connector Data Flow
The connector is placed within your Organization’s Intranet and BizMerlinHR has no connection with Sage 300 on the Local network and directly provides you with a secure data transfer. Any operations enabled on your installed application work on their own without letting any interference from the Cloud system. BizMerlinHR’s Cloud system cannot manipulate anything on the Local System. Only data operations are handled as per the connector settings.
Let’s take a scenario of syncing users from BizMerlinHR to Sage 300 and the connector pulling the latest changes from Cloud BizMerlinHR setup into the connector and users can be pushed to Sage 300 based on manual or automatic settings.
