Connect to Office 365, SharePoint 2010 and Azure. Cloud Connector for Microsoft SharePoint 2010 and Office 365 takes your local data and distributes it to cloud-based or hosted SharePoint systems. Content stored on almost any corporate data source (databases, files, ERP / CRM / ECMS) and in applications (Dynamics, SharePoint, Active Directory, SAP) is replicated to cloud based native SharePoint lists via secure Web services. Cloud-to-cloud connections e.g. to Azure, Twitter, Facebook, Google etc. are also supported.

Cloud Connector has the following features and benefits:

Push your external line-of-business data to a native SharePoint list in the cloud

Extend SharePoint cloud capabilities to existing data on your corporate network

No programming or tools required - Setup in a few minutes guided by a wizard

No installation or SharePoint customization required

Bi-directional connections

Compatible to all SharePoint offerings - Including on-premise, remotely hosted, sandboxed, e.g. Microsoft SharePoint Online / Microsoft Office 365

Secure data connection and transfer

Connection via Web Services (SSL) - A connection is only required for data exchange – not for list usage. No direct access to external company data required (“push” – no “pull” strategy). The application runs where your data resides today - on any server or client inside your corporate network.

Virtually all data sources supported - ODBC, OLEDB, Microsoft .NET based providers, Files (Excel, XML, CSV), SQL databases like MS SQL, SQL Azure, Oracle, MySQL, IBM DB2, IBM AS/400, IBM Informix, Notes, SharePoint, Exchange, Active Directory, Dynamics NAV/CRM, Navision and SAP). More complex data sources, web services, custom COM or .NET objects, can be connected using 3rd party add-ons. Cloud-to-cloud connections e.g. to salesforce.com, Twitter, Facebook, Google are also supported.

Start workflows in the cloud - All native SharePoint features are supported, e.g. views, sorting, filtering, grouping, mobile access, search, tagging & enterprise metadata, RSS feeds, change notifications per email or workflows in the cloud

Additional “SharePoint-only” columns can be created

Data aggregation - Multiple connections can rollup several different data sources to one list

High performance - Can manage large databases and lists (well tested with 100,000 items)

Connect to Office 365, SharePoint 2010 and Azure.
