Data Integration Points
The data integration points enabling the integration of business processes between the participating applications are described in this topic. A data integration point refers to the data elements that comprise a data entity, such as an account data entity, that are synchronized between Siebel CRM and Oracle FLEXCUBE Universal Banking. Two methods are used to synchronize the data:

Online synchronization of data. This synchronization can be unidirectional or bidirectional.
