IntegrationsIntegration Mechanisms

Business Connectivity ServiceseContracts 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 IntegrationseContractsTM 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)
