Benefits of Sage Intacct Data Integration

Your Sage Intacct data integrated with your enterprise

A financial system must be able to exchange data with other business systems and processes. While Sage offers a great API for programming, Layer2 adds code-free data sync with 150+ typically used apps.

Make your Sage data available on any device

You can keep your Sage data in sync with Microsoft Office 365, SharePoint, or SQL Vendors, such as Amazon, Google, Oracle, or IBM, to access up-to-date Sage data everywhere, at any time, and on any device. You can also add custom business logic such as SharePoint workflows, Microsoft Flow actions, PowerApps, or Azure Logic Apps.

Finish your data integration projects faster

With the help of the Layer2 Cloud Connector, integrating external systems with Sage Intacct can be done faster and with lower risk, as the synchronization is provided code-free, based on templates - without any development. No installation or changes are required on the Sage-side.

All under your full control, locally or in the cloud

Connect your apps directly under your full control. No 3rd party or cloud service involved. Run the connector locally in your own network or in your own cloud.

Advanced features can help you get things done

Flexible field mapping, Dynamic Columns to apply data cleanup, calculations, data transformation, and data translation between the connected systems to implement custom business logic in C#, if required.

Cost-effective licensing with no hidden costs

Just a one-time license fee for the Layer2 Cloud Connector*. No additional costs per user, connected system, connection, number of transferred items, or data volume. Optional annual Software Assurance for free updates and upgrades. (* 3rd party data providers are not included.)

Integrating Sage Intacct data via the Layer2 Cloud Connector has more features and benefits:

Many systems and apps can be connected out-of-the-box: Often requested data providers like ODBC, OLEDB, OData, Exchange, SharePoint, Office 365, XML, RSS, SOAP etc. are included in the distribution package, vendor-specific ADO.NET data providers like for SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL etc. can be also used, also as well as 3rd party data providers e.g. for Google, Twitter and Facebook. On-premises and cloud-based systems and apps are supported. Please find your specific data source or destination here.
Very flexible sync options: One-way or two-way synchronization supported, insert/update/delete operations can be blocked, if required. Scheduled update in the background, on-demand, or via API.
Simple and reliable architecture: A connection is established only for data synchronization – not for general usage by end-users.
Support for all features in both connected systems: All Sage Intact features provided for connected data sets. All features are available for the external systems as well, e.g. in case of SharePoint / Office 365: views, search, metadata, change notifications, forms, workflows etc.
Best performance: Fast synchronization, supports large datasets. No bulk-import - data changes are processed carefully. Users directly work with data sets in the connected systems for best user experience.
Highest Security: No need to open your local network for access from outside. Secure communication, e.g. SSL/HTTPS (depending on data provider). No 3rd party or clouds involved. The Layer2 Cloud Connector runs as a Windows service on a Windows server or client in your secure internal network, or in your own cloud to connect both ends directly for sync.
