Daniil Raschupkin, Lead Sitecore developer from Brimit, was talking on “Data Exchange Framework (DEF). Essential basics and practical usage takeaways”.
Daniil has been working on several Sitecore projects this year where Data Exchange Framework was used. He gained practical experience setting up Data Exchange Framework and Dynamics CRM Connector to sync data between Sitecore, GatherContent and Dynamics CRM where a new custom pipeline batch was implemented to pull CRM products. Daniil shared several cases and best practices from real cases and his latest Sitecore experience. A standalone blog post on customizing Dynamics CRM Connector is coming soon.
