Cloud Connector for SharePoint and Office 365

Features & Benefits

The Layer2 Cloud Connector for SharePoint 2010 / 2013 and Office 365 connects your external line-of-business data to Microsoft SharePoint:

• Extends the SharePoint capabilities to existing external data sets, that will continue to reside within your corporate network – directly connected to native SharePoint lists and libraries and always up-to-date.

• No programming or tools required: Setup in a few minutes guided by a wizard. No installation or customizing at SharePoint or data source required.

• 100% compatible to ALL SharePoint 2010 / 2013 offerings: On premise, externally hosted, Office 365, sandboxed. Utilizes the new Microsoft CSOM API.

• Reliable architecture: A connection is established only for data exchange – not for general usage. No direct access to corporate data required from outside. Native SharePoint lists and libraries act as a cache for your data – bidirectional if required.

• Secure data connection and transfer: The connector runs where your data resides today - on any server or client inside your corporate network with Internet connectivity available. No data is exposed to any 3rd party.

• High performance: Works great with large data sets.

• Almost any data source supported: ODBC, OLEDB, OData, .NET-based providers, file content (Excel, XML, CSV), File System Replication, SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, IBM DB2, IBM AS/400, IBM Informix, Microsoft SharePoint, MS Dynamics NAV/CRM, Exchange, Active Directory, Navision, Lotus Notes, SAP, XML Web Services etc.

• CSOM, OData, File System, XML provider included.

• Start workflows or send email notifications in the cloud on external data change.

• Add additional “cloud-only” columns, e.g. for rating, or file attachments. Aggregate your external data.

“A data-integration strategy needs to be within the foundation of your cloud computing plan. This integration needs to be innate to the architecture; it can't be something you're reminded of at the rollout meeting…”
