The quoting system contained about 75% of the information that would be needed to create the purchase order so data was pulled from the existing system using a REST web service.- Suggested and implemented an HTTP-level integration that would pull the data real time from their web interface and copy it to the purchasing application. This gave us up-to-the-minute data and, since we were interfacing with the web layer instead of the database, the quoting system’s internal structure could change without affecting our data exchange taking place at a higher level.
