What is the RapidiConnector and how to install it?
The RapidiConnector is a small windows service that runs in the background and features the connection between the local system (for example MS Dynamics NAV) and the central RapidiOnline service.
- You don’t have to change anything in your network or firewalls in order to deploy RapidiOnline integration.
- Very easy to get started.
- Your internal systems stay secured and protected.
The connections from the RapidiConnector are all outbound to RapidiOnline. No inbound connections are made and no inbound ports have to be opened in your firewall.This makes it very easy to get started and your internal systems stay secured and protected. - Highly effective data transfer
The communication between RapidiOnline and the RapidiConnector is using a proprietary protocol which is highly efficient in terms of reducing the total amount of data and the number of packages sent and received to an absolute minimum. The protocol first joins e.g. 50 records in 1 package thereby stripping off all Meta information, so that only the relevant data is sent. Furthermore the package is compressed before sending. This results in the most efficient data transfer. This method can reduce the amount of data needed to be sent by a factor up to 50. This means e.g. instead of sending 1000 bytes for each customer record the RapidiConnector only needs to send 20 bytes. This reduces both the time and the bandwidth needed dramatically. - Increased secure data transmission
Because of the proprietary protocol and the compression it is practically impossible to decipher the data transmitted. This increases the security. If extra security is needed the data can also be encrypted. - Login to RapidiOnline

The RapidiConnector: Communication… fast and secure
The RapidiOnline Services run with a unique technology called the RapidiConnector that ensures compressed and secure data transfer between RapidiOnline and the different On-Premise systems. For best efficiency and security the data is compressed and encrypted. Our aim is to provide services that take advantage of this unique technology in order to make it easier and faster for you to get started. Our unique technology ensures that the On-Demand solution is working just as efficient as the On-Premise version.
RapidiConnector: Reduced time and bandwidth
The RapidiConnector resides in your On-Premise network connecting outbound to the central RapidiOnline Service and enables two-way communication between RapidiOnline and your On-Premise systems.
