SQL Speed + Connector Data = A Powerful, Time-saving Combination

It seems like every time a company engages in manual data manipulation, you hear the same thing: Mistakes were made. When your IDEA Connector product data flows right into your SQL database in automated, nightly updates, you can finally ditch the extracts, spreadsheets, and pivot tables.

Eliminating room for error, IDEA Connector’s product data coupled with SQL’s fast query processing means more efficient, accurate reporting at the moment you need it.

Centralized Product Information

With complete, current product content from multiple sources in one easy-to-use database, you can populate your ERP systems, e-commerce and websites, and marketing materials. Sharing product information, authorizations, and pricing across internal systems within your enterprise has never been easier.

IDEA-security

Complete Security and Privacy

IDEA Fusion is a cloud-based, company-specific database fed by the IDEA Connector platform that supports all the same security you can get from a locally-installed version of SQL Server. Each company has its own instance of IDEA Fusion running in a separate instance of SQL Server. Your IDEA Fusion database is proprietary to your company and can't be accessed by other IDEA Fusion users.

Rapid Implementation

In just 4–6 weeks, IDEA will build you a flexible and configurable SQL database that can be connected to via ODBC, native SQL server, or API wrappers. With set-up, servers, security, and licensing included, IDEA Fusion has minimal overhead for your company, since it is supported by IDEA's excellent customer success team.

“IDEA Fusion enables us to immediately get answers from our organization’s entire catalog—millions of items. The data has already been organized and validated in IDEA Connector, and IDEA Fusion is a powerful way to assemble and route the data. Real-time access directly to the data is a huge asset.”
