Microsoft Azure

Use Flowgear's pre-built connector to integrate with Microsoft Azure

Product description

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing service created by Microsoft for building, testing, deploying, and managing applications and services through Microsoft-managed data centers.

Integrate your applications with message queues in Azure Queues, or with unstructured data in Azure Blob storage.

Flowgear has Connectors for queuing and dequeuing against Azure Queue storage. Flowgear’s Azure Blob File Connector writes and reads large blobs into a local file; the Blob Storage Connector writes and reads Azure blobs from memory.

Use the Flowgear platform to increase your productivity and profitability while delivering customer excellence!

Benefits of using this connector

  • The most important requirement is to constantly maintain the integrations and workflows

    Integrations quickly become a critical component of your business operations and need to be maintained in real-time.

    Third Party endpoints like Microsoft Azure are frequently updated, which if unmanaged, can result in downtime. Companies cannot afford the time to review 1000's of lines of code or be dependent on individual developers as seen with hand coded solutions.

    Hand coding and plug-ins are brittle by nature, as they are developed to integrate with Microsoft Azure at a specific point in time. When Microsoft Azure is regularly updated, the hand coding is likely to break causing disruption to the business.
  • Avoid complex API documentation, deliver solutions in 25% of the time to hand code.

    Each Flowgear connector includes a Sample.

    This is the way Flowgear visually surfaces all the features, objects and fields made available by the Microsoft Azure API, including any customized objects.

    Example: "Create Contact" quickly filter through 3500 Salesforce Objects.

Flowgear - Workflows

Flowgear's integration solutions are designed as workflows. A workflow is a visual representation of an integration task that is composed of a series of steps called nodes.

Intuitively build sophisticated workflows with our drag and drop visual designer, powerful logic functions and real-time processing.

Use our revolutionary DropPoints to gain instant secure access to all on-premise applications. Our collaboration tools increase productivity by enabling users to control asset versions and share resources.
