Organizations that operate on private internal networks often require a communication medium for third-party applications to interact with their systems. To facilitate this communication, Qntrl has introduced Bridge.
Bridge is an installable java application that facilitates interaction between a Qntrl’s instance and external systems or services. Bridge also helps you supervise how Qntrl interacts with your organization’s servers and what data it accesses. Learn more about

Business use case
Zylker Corp uses MySQL database to store information related to their organization. Data like employee, client, and vendor information is collectively stored here for one-stop access. When Zylker Corp uses Qntrl for workflow automation, they need to fetch data from their database and display it in Qntrl. If the data is modified in Qntrl, the same has to be updated in their database too.
To facilitate this, Zylker Corp can make use of Bridge in Qntrl.
