Companies facing the challenge of switching CRM applications have a new cloud migration tool to help them move their data between applications such as Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

The new Cloud Connector tool from Sparxent enables companies to move, share and manage data between business applications across various environments including on-premise, cloud-based applications and hosted environments, according to Paul Richards, Principal consultant at Sparxent subsidiary Xaware Inc. in Colorado Springs. The Cloud Connector is implemented using the connectivity in the XAware Data Integration software package, he said.
