Hi Juan,

First of all it depends on your client/company . What they already have in place. If they are already using PI as an middle ware then its better to go through PI . There are some immediate facilities of going through PI compare to direct connection -

1. Better monitoring tool. You will be able to monitor every possible aspects of you integration flow end to end .

2. Better customization capabilities and development in a separate box.

3. Better session handling/ easy certificate authentication.

4. For Sales Force integration, you need to do dynamic Server location calling using TServerLocation.

    You need to create a valid session for creating the flow and SOAP Look up etc. These seems to be easy and reliable using lots of customizing capabilities in PI.

But the main point is how your client want to set up their flow/ where they want to invest.

Thanks,

Apu
