Data Security/Excel Integration

Hi All,

I am creating a conduit to bring info out of SF into an excel spreadsheet and then export back some data into SF.

How safe is our data if we establish a connection from our Excel Spreadsheet sitting on our end user's desktop to import and export our data?

Alternatively, is it possible to provide a "WIL" on the SF opportunities page and then launch the excel spreadsheet. If so what are the security concerns here? Will the Excel spreadsheet have to be deployed at SF's site? Also, are implementing "WIL" documented in the API's?

Thanks,

Johns

Hi Johns,

As long as you use https you data will be as secure as the salesforce.com application.
