#### What Is MuleSoft?

[MuleSoft](https://www.mulesoft.com) is an enterprise data integration platform for connecting multiple data sources and applications. The platform is called Anypoint, and it enables organizations to create a network of data, applications, and devices across different cloud computing environments through the use of APIs.

##### When is MuleSoft used?

- When a business needs to roll out a new product initiative that involves several data sources and applications
- When a company needs to engage with customers through several channels, both digital and in-store, which requires the use of multiple systems

Instead of doing research, building integrations, and thinking about security, a business adopts MuleSoft Anypoint and enables connectivity between data sources and applications. It’s not necessary to know the details of the data sources as MuleSoft is equipped with most of the integration components that a business would need. These components include message sources, routers, scopes, transformers, and connectors to third-party applications. 

##### How MuleSoft and Salesforce can be used together

MuleSoft helps organizations that need to implement a quick and effective integration of several Salesforce clouds, such as [Sales Cloud](https://www.brimit.com/glossary/salesforce-sales-cloud), [Service Cloud](https://www.brimit.com/glossary/salesforce-service-cloud), [Salesforce Platform](https://www.brimit.com/glossary/salesforce), and [Force.com](https://www.brimit.com/glossary/force-com). MuleSoft has connectors for accessing all Salesforce entities and is capable of creating, reading, and deleting Salesforce object records. It can also run bulk operations and work with large data sets.

Some common business applications of using MuleSoft and Salesforce together include integrating ERPs, aggregating data for running reports, and migrating data from a legacy system.
