Wherever your data lives, now view it one place

You know that legacy system your company has maintained for decades – the one that often produces eye-rolls, keyboard slamming, and sarcastic terms like “dinosaur” during team meetings? Or, how about the private application your team relies on every day, but its internal design prohibits it from integrating with your other business apps?

We have excellent news for you (and no, you’re not dreaming). Using the Glances no-code integration platform partnered with DreamFactory, creator of instant APIs, your prehistoric systems and private apps will finally be able to connect with the 8,000+ web apps available in today’s SaaS space.

How this tech partnership works for you

Our friends at DreamFactory have created an enterprise-grade API as a service platform that helps users generate database APIs instantly and securely (without code!) to build applications faster. Working with Glances, DreamFactory allows you to quickly connect more business apps, such as internal systems, to ensure that the additional data you need is also visible while using Glances. DreamFactory builds a REST API for Glances to access, even if the system is out-of-date or hard-to-access, which allows Glances and your business application to seamlessly communicate with each other.

Even your company’s most archaic and challenging systems can be brought up to speed using DreamFactory and its API-building technology. The more private apps and databases businesses can connect with the help of DreamFactory REST APIs, the more powerful Glances will be in helping professionals stay in their platform of choice, but still gain access to a single view of their data.
