Apatar reveals implementation of its hosted service takes 30 minutes or less using a browser. Apatar On-Demand was designed to automatically de-duplicate data while synchronizing accounts, opportunities, purchase orders, and invoices between Salesforce.com on-demand CRM and the QuickBooks accounting system. July 10, 2008, Chicopee, MA – Apatar, Inc., the leading provider of
open source software tools for the data integration market, today
launched Apatar On-Demand for Salesforce.com CRM and QuickBooks
accounting software. Apatar On-Demand Edition is a hosted service that
synchronizes order data between Salesforce.com CRM and desktop
QuickBooks accounting software. It was designed for business users, so
the process of setting up the integration link does not require
technical skills. Apatar On-Demand Edition for Salesforce.com and
QuickBooks allows running one- or two-way, recurring or one-time
synchronization of account, contact, order, and opportunity data, while
preserving links between tables in both Salesforce.com and QuickBooks.
Designed specifically to avoid double entry, subscription to Apatar software also includes embedded data quality service. To free its users from manual data upkeep, Apatar software searches and removes duplicate accounts every time it synchronizes order data.

Why Salesforce.com and QuickBooks users should care?
According to Forrester Research, 66% of North American and European enterprises are afraid to adopt SaaS applications due to integration issues. Apatar On-Demand solves this problem by providing easy-to-use integration and synchronization of data between Web-based and desktop applications. A recent survey by Kelton Research confirms the enterprise’s increasing interest in on-demand services, with nearly 73 percent of large companies saying they had adopted or plan to adopt SaaS in the next 18 months.
“The days when Salesforce.com users had to wait for weeks before they could see customer order histories are gone,” said Renat Khasanshyn, the founder and CEO of Apatar. “Today these users can be up and running in 30 minutes or less.”
