Integrations
For most CRM integrations an embedded Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) is utilized. With this tool, Zift can build comprehensive integrations to ZiftONE for customers.
ZiftONE typically integrates with CRMs like Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics. For Microsoft Dynamics 365, ZiftONE has an out-of-the-box preconfigured integration. Some of our customers have chosen to integrate ZiftONE with their digital asset management (DAM) platforms and their existing learning management systems. If you have questions about this, our integration team will work with you and your existing tech stack to ensure that ZiftONE is serving your needs. Find out more about integrations with ZiftONE.
Additionally, ZiftONE also provides channel partners the unique opportunity to integrate their own CRMs to their Partner Portal.
Single Sign On (SSO)
ZiftONE integrates with common SSO systems, such as PingIdentity. You can use an existing Portal or IDP to login to the ZiftONE Partner Portal without needing to re-enter credentials.
The ZiftONE platform is also set up for SSO out, where you use Zift as an IDP and SSO out to other platforms from the ZiftONE Partner Portal. Some customers choose ZiftAdmin for SSO in, which allows you to use your organization’s Employee IDP to log in to the ZiftONE Admin site, maximizing security.
ZiftONE Developer Portal: Developer-Friendly, Web-Based API Documentation
The ZiftONE Developer Portal enables users to bring their own integrations into our system via Zift’s open API. Instead of relying on quickly outdated manuals, the web documentation in the Developer Portal is designed for easy access (and is available for channel IT developers).
Additional abilities of the Developer Portal include:
- Developing guidance for every endpoint and attribute in ZiftONE.
- Utilizing practical, powerful API call-testing frameworks.
Implementations
Zift’s implementation process begins with workshops to get feedback from your company’s users. The goal of implementation is to ensure that we are understanding users’ needs so that the portal will match expectations and meet desired outcomes.
The implementation team continuously gets feedback throughout this process. Additionally, we work to identify any gaps in what your company may have available. From here, we can connect your team with our services team if there’s a need to build out any program element.
Our seven phase implementation process also includes training, so your users will feel equipped to solve their own problems and know where to go if something doesn’t work as expected.
Zift’s support is available 24/5 to all customers.
Technology Architecture andGlobal Capabilities
ZiftONE is delivered globally via SaaS and runs on the AWS Cloud. If your company is based in Europe with a need to meet the newer General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) privacy requirements, ZiftONE can be hosted in Stockholm. Find out more about our technology architecture at this link.
The ZiftONE platform has a component-based microservices architecture deployed in containers on AWS EKS. The entire infrastructure is stateless and can scale to the load presented. The platform components are fronted with SSL terminating application load balancers (ALB). All distributed published assets, including application UI/Mobile, landing pages, etc., are published statically and distributed on the global Amazon S3/Cloudfront CDN network. For greater China, the application is distributed by ChinaCache for significantly improved responsiveness behind the Chinese internet firewall.
With our US and UK-based team, Zift is equipped to meet the needs of your global team – offering time zone flexibility and insights to ensure portal success.
