Office 365 Integration: Layer2 Cloud Connector for Office 365 and SharePoint
Line-of-business connectivity and enterprise search are core capabilities with Office 365 and Microsoft SharePoint that drive adaption, productivity and ROI across the organization. The challenges are the coding, installation, and customization required to manage the integration needed in order to achieve the productivity benefits.
The Solution: Layer2 Cloud Connector
Content stored in almost any corporate data source can be synchronized with native SharePoint lists and libraries via secure web services: Data in SQL databases, file shares, ERP / CRM / ECMS systems or other legacy platforms and on-premise applications like MS Dynamics, SharePoint, Active Directory, and SAP. Cloud-to-cloud connections, e.g. to Azure, Salesforce, Twitter, Facebook, Google, RSS Newsfeeds, and XML, are supported as well. All features of native SharePoint lists and libraries are completely available for your external data, such as views, filter, search, metadata, change notifications, and workflows on external data changes.

SharePoint Integration: Layer2 Business Data List Connector (BDLC)
The fast, easy, and complete integration of external data sources is a common requirement in the use of Microsoft SharePoint technology. Solutions, such as the Business Data Catalog (BDC) for SharePoint 2007 or the Business Connectivity Services (BCS) for SharePoint 2010/2013, are complex, require additional tools or programming, have serious limitations, and are available for certain SharePoint editions only.
The Solution: Layer2 Business Data List Connector
The Layer2 Business Data List Connector for SharePoint completely solves those issues. The SharePoint connector offers “external lists” by connecting 100% NATIVE SharePoint lists (native contacts, news, tasks, events, or custom lists) to almost any external data source in just minutes, directly in the SharePoint list settings. No SharePoint Web Parts, no BCS necessary! The desired data can be populated to the list and presented without restriction, with the full functionality of common native SharePoint lists. Changes made in SharePoint can then be written back to the external data source, if desired. Click here for a demonstration of how the Layer2 Business Data List Connector works.
