FUNCTIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
The NLINK AMAPS+PLUS CoNNector offers many advantages over other approaches when needing to integrate with AMAPS+PLUS:

• Fast to Implement. - The NLINK AMAPS+PLUS CoNNector is configuration-based requiring no custom coding and uses the NLINK Configuration Module (NCM) to rapidly configure the NLINK meta-database.

• Easy to Change. - No coding is required to implement the AMAPS+PLUS to ERP connectivity. Since the configuration is stored in the NLINK meta-database and manipulated through the NCM modifications and changes are simple and quick to implement.

• Robust and Reliable. - The NLINK AMAPS+PLUS CoNNector is a mission critical addition to your company’s information systems. Store and Forward and Error Recovery are just two of the built-in reliability features that are not available in other approaches.

• Field Proven. - The NLINK AMAPS+PLUS CoNNector has been successfully field deployed at several locations throughout the world for a number of years.

• Expandable. - Unlike other approaches, the NLINK AMAPS+PLUS CoNNector is built on a full Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) product. It can be expanded to include connections to legacy systems, best of breed applications, the Internet, and more.

• Business Rules. - The NLINK AMAPS+PLUS CoNNector provides more than just message delivery. It allows the user to build business logic into any transaction. Business logic is easily configured and changed for evolving business requirements, without programming.

• Data Combination. - The NLINK AMAPS+PLUS CoNNector lets you easily aggregate and manipulate data from multiple sources before producing an outbound message to one or more other systems.
