Integrating with Sage Financial Software

Paul picture Paul · Mar 19, 2009 · Viewed 36.5k times · Source

I have recently been asked to develop an application that will have to integrate with Sage Line 50 financial software.
I've done some googling and I am surprised at the lack of info on interfacing with Sage from Java or .Net. Is Sage such a black box that you need to sign up to a Sage Developer program before you get any info?
Are there any open source options to allow apps to talk to Sage?

Any info appreciated.

Cheers

Paul

Theres a new methodology Sage are moving to called SData. I think you can read about this at http://sdata.sage.com/

The long term aspiration is that SData will provide full CRUD facilities and simplify integration between different Sage programs (of which there are many!) and therefore provide a consistent web service that 3rd party applications can be integrated with too.
