Integrations
Integration Mechanisms
Business Connectivity Services
eContracts leverages Business Connectivity Services (“BCS”) feature to make seamless
integrations possible through External Lists and External Content Types. These External
Content Types and External Lists easily allow you to bring content from outside
databases into the SharePoint to manage and display “live-data”.
The External List, which resides in SharePoint and stores the data according to an
easily configurable data connection mapping. This list, once configured can be
imagined as having the database table with SharePoint list interface. New external
connections can be established easily through the Data Source explorer feature which
allows for searching of external database tables and mapping of table elements with
the External list metadata.
Pre-Configured External Content Types for eContracts
SharePoint Site columns (metadata) are created within SharePoint that match up to
the external data’s site columns (metadata). The eContractsTM framework has prebuilt
configurations for some of the common integration needs.
Custom Integrations
eContractsTM can be customized to send and receive files from external systems. For
example, flat files or spreadsheet can be exchanged for updating pricing information.
(Great Plains integration would fall into this category)
