SData Custom Extensions

The real power of SData comes when the protocol is taken and extended to deliver practical business solutions.

One main type of extension is the use of SData in integration contracts. These contracts define the terms and conditions for integration between applications (e.g. what data can be exchanged) and use SData as the enabling technology. A range of SData integration contract custom extensions exist - one for using SData to integrate with Sage's range of CRM products, one for integrating with HR/Payroll applications, and one for integrating with Fixed Assets applications. Further details on these custom extensions are available below. Other SData integration contract custom extensions are being developed for payment processing, Microsoft Outlook, construction/real estate and accountant filing/reporting and these pages will be updated as and when these custom extensions are complete.
