Native multithreading (multiple and simultaneous import processes)
Dynamics CRM is using Webservice, even if this API is standard, it can slow down import & integration tasks when using a sequential import process. To avoid this, Nomad integrated parallel processing, that can simulteneously import data into CRM. Using simultaneous processes, Nomad can acheive up to 110 CRM requests per second on standard, non load-balanced hardware.
Creation Concurrency Lock (optional)
When doing a synchronization task based on criteria like account number, a request should be done to CRM to find out if a Create or Update request should be triggered, based on criterias. When a creation should be done, a lock can optionnaly be obtained, so that no other parallel task can create the same record.
Local cache of metadata (some providers)
When, for example, the CRM operation provider is used, all information related to CRM (ex. entities or attributes information) is cached, so that the requests to CRM are minimized.
On demand metadata query
Only the required metadata is retreived, and when it should be used.
Can handle sequential or concurent import
When a project is executed, it can be configured to run sequentially or using parallel tasks. Usefull when there is a dependencies in the datasource.
