Playing well with others - Integration
Today's web properties are more complex than ever, requiring integration with all manner of systems. To be effective, you need a technology that lets you integrate with third-party systems and reuse that data not only for website content, but for other tasks as well (such as authentication). Sitecore makes this simple, straightforward and high performance. That’s because Sitecore is built exclusively in .NET and is based 100 percent on XML. Unlike some, we don’t store our content as HTML pages - we abstract our content as XML and .NET objects.
Sitecore’s flexible “data provider” integration capabilities allows ease of integration with back-end systems, totaling over 1,000 different applications, including SAP, Salesforce.com, Oracle and more. What’s more, our connector modules give full featured integration with Microsoft’s SharePoint and Microsoft Active Directory (AD).
The .NET framework and Sitecore's open architecture and standards, makes integrating other third party systems into your website and Sitecore simple and straightforward
