Introducing Salesforce Connect:
Lightning Connect, a service that allows developers and business admins to build real-time integrations with external data sources fast, without writing any code.

Salesforce connector:
If you have multiple Salesforce “orgs,” or instances, in your company–whether across regions, subsidiaries, or functions–you can now easily connect them without writing a single line of code. Company mergers, for example, often brought with them the challenge of integrating disparate instances of Salesforce. No longer. When you integrate your apps with Salesforce Connect, you empower your employees to gain real-time visibility into customer data, enabling them to be more productive and to serve customers more proactively.
It’s hard to find a part of our digital lives that APIs don’t touch. Without them, our Fitbits couldn’t talk to our phones; our Google Calendars wouldn’t sync. The impact on our work lives is no different and arguably more profound. If CIOs are up all night, it shouldn’t be because they can’t deliver connected apps. It should be because they are excited about the opportunity to innovate and deliver business value. It should be because they are thinking about connecting their employees, about empowering them to collaborate as one team to help their customers succeed.
