Layer2 SharePoint Business Data List Connector

Layer2 SharePoint Business Data List Connector is a connector for SharePoint that makes it possible to connect native lists from SharePoint with various external data sources without using any code and in a bidirectional manner. Users can benefit from all SharePoint's native features for connected lists. Those include views, metadata managing, lookups, searching, mobile access, offline access, workflows and notification changing.

It supports connecting to Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, SYBASE, FileMaker, RSS, XML, ATOM, SAP, Microsoft SQL Azure, Microsoft .NET, OData, ODBC, OLEDB, Access, Excel, Windows Server Active Directory and more.

Layer2 SharePoint Business Data List Connector can perform connections without requiring complicated configuration, as adjusting its settings can be done directly in the SharePoint list settings.

It keeps its connected data up-to-date by refreshing it in background, but can be set to do so on demand, depending on the users' needs. It only transfers data dat has been modified.

Since the connection is bidirectional, users can perform modifications done in SharePoint to the external sources as well, as they are provided with Create-Update-Delete (CRUD) features.

The connector can be used to store sensitive information by centralizing data in a single secure location. It supports multiple data types, which include contacts, events, custom lists or tasks.
