Xora Data Integration Services

Ways to Integrate Xora

There are 3 primary ways to integrate with Xora.

• Simple file transfer: Importing and exporting of Excel, CSV and other flat files.
• "Pre-built Connectors": Several 3rd Party Integration Developers have created their own “pre-built connectors” for integrating with Xora. These connectors require additional configuration and often come with an upfront cost as well as a monthly recurring charge payable to the developer.
• Xora Web Services: Xora Web Services provides a method for system-to-system communication between Xora and other products. Our web services API’s are open to developers and other partners.

Resource Options

Xora Customers have different integration resource options available to them to choose from based on the complexity and budget of the project.

• Xora Professional Services: Our team of experts can be contracted to set up basic integration processes like file transfers. They can also be contracted to assist your developers.
• Internal Developers: Many Xora customers have their own internal application developers. Utilizing our open API’s and Web Services Developers Guide they are able to do the integration work themselves.
• 3rd Party Integration Developers: Depending on the project requirements our Xora Professional Services team can recommend a 3rd party developer for the project, or assist the developer of your choice.
