What the five have in common.
Four claims, and who carries themAll five removed a manual step somebody did every working day.
0102030405Three connect Salesforce to a system that was never built to talk to it.
030405Two are still running long after the first release — which is the only review of an architecture that counts.
0102One had no API to integrate with at all, so we drove the browser instead.
