I'm pretty sure this also applies. In a situation where you have an external web application that needs to retrieve information from an ERP system running on a local intranet, this solution in itself is not very efficient although it would work - say for instance you need to access a local database. A better solution for these kind of scenarios, would be to use some form of RPC (REST, SOAP). If that ERP system is behind a firewall, then you will need a tunnel like has been described in this post. Thanks Lukman and welcome to my blog. I’m pretty sure this also applies.

In the mean, do you have a solution for a situation where a portal on the internet needs to access an ERP system (running on local intranet, to pull data). I'll appreciate your solution.
