Description:
Payapps is a solution that allows for online submission and approval of progress claims on jobs.
Deployment Methodology:
This integration has two components, an ODBC connection to the Vista database that pulls information from Vista to populate the Payapps system with job progress and financial status, as well as CSV imports to import submissions from Payapps into Vista. The Payapps solution itself is a multi-tenant solution in the Payapps cloud.
Deployment Methodology:
We do not support hosting of this product in our cloud. As such, the customer must continue to host it in either their on-premise environment or in another cloud. As a result, since this product and Vista will be on separate networks, a VPN is needed to bridge the gap between the two networks. As part of the deployment of this tool, a SQL service account may be required to allow this tool to properly communicate to Vista. If needed, the customer may follow these instructions to set up a SQL Service account: I need a dedicated SQL account for my integration to Vista in your cloud. How do I set that up?
tl;dr: Customers who would like to integrate Payapps with Vista in our cloud need to host this integration outside of the Viewpoint cloud. The customer should ensure they have purchased an IPSEC VPN tunnel, which is then set up to connect the customer's Viewpoint cloud environment to the location where this tool is hosted.
NOTE: This integration is not approved for HOSTING the integration in our cloud; only a VPN connection is supported.
