In a complex world of different platforms and technologies, your applications often need to be integrated into an existing environment. In order to accomplish this goal, a lot of different techniques and protocols exist. Which one will you use? And to what purpose?
Instead of an in-depth theoretical comparison of all possibilities, we'll present a case study from one of our clients. In order to give you a taste of what's possible, we'll elaborate on our integration of Drupal 7 in the IT environment of a Belgian utilities company. For this company we integrated Drupal’s user management system with Microsoft AD, consumed web services from an SAP backend and provided API's that can be used by other company applications.
