Cloud Connector for Microsoft SharePoint 2010 and Office 365 Description

Cloud Connector for Microsoft SharePoint 2010/2013 and Office 365 is a professional sollution designed to take your local line-of-business data to your cloud-based SharePoint.Content stored in almost any corporate data source, e.g. databases, files, ERP / CRM / ECMS or other legacy platforms and on-premise applications like Navision, SharePoint or Active Directory etc. is replicated to native SharePoint lists into the cloud via secure web services. All features of native SharePoint lists are completely available for your external data. While the SharePoint Business Data Catalog (BDC), the SharePoint Business Data Connectivity Services (BCS) or the SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) out-of-the-box are not made for cloud-based scenarios, the SharePoint Cloud Connector was specially developed to solve the specific challenges of remote hosted disconnected systems in the cloud without any direct access to corporate business data and very restricted feature customization capabilities.
