Integrating with a ERP System

Hi All,
         I am new to salesforce and have been trying to figure out theintegration aspects of Salesforce.           I have a need of integrating my Salesforce instance to a backend ERP system,As if now this integration is not real time and i need to batch upload the data from the ERP system into Salesforce.
 
My ERP maintains a unique id for each record it creates and this is record is also with the Salesforce but with a different unique Id generated using the Auto number feature, Now how can i actually pull up the some extra information from ERP with respect to this particular similar record.
 
Thanks in Advance.
Angel

Hello, Angel118.

What ERP are you using? What database engine does this ERP embed?

Perhaps, you could take a look at Apatar Open Source, a data integration tool that links databases, files and applications. It enables connectivity to MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, MS SQL, Sybase, FTP, HTTP (POST and GET), SugarCRM, Goldmine CRM, XML (local and web-based), flat files (CSV, TXT), Webdav, Buzzsaw, LDAP, Amazon and even Flickr.

Using Apatar's visual work panel, you can link data between the source(s) and the target(s), and schedule one-time or recurring data transformations.

You can find online demos that explain how to integrate SalesForce.com with other data sources here: http://www.apatar.com/web_demo.html

For more information, or to download a copy of Apatar, visit http://www.apatar.com

Should you have any questions or suggestions, I can be reached through my blog 'Naked Open Source', found at http://www.apatar.com/blogs/renat.
