The document summarizes an Alfresco Community Meetup in 2013 in Madrid. It discusses connectors created by Venzia and Zylk.net that allow integration between Alfresco and ERP/CRM systems like SugarCRM. Specifically, it describes a JDBC authentication connector that allows SugarCRM users to authenticate in Alfresco, and a MetaDB connector that syncs SugarCRM metadata and enables searching SugarCRM data from Alfresco. It then demonstrates these connectors in an Alfresco-SugarCRM integration.

MDBC Connector (by Venzia)
The MetaDBConnector Component enables you to link
information from your database (or any other public
source) easily to the content on your Alfresco server,
without any additional development efforts. This
capability adds another level of information enrichment to
your content as well as many alternatives for the
integration of your data.
