Sage Enters Partnership That Makes Using 3rd Party Apps Easier
Cloud Elements, an API management and integration platform that bills itself as "the fastest way to connect entire ecosystems of apps", recently announced a strategic partnership with Sage.
The partnership makes Cloud Elements’ extensive catalog of more than 100 pre-built API connections available to Sage customers and independent software vendors (ISVs), enabling the seamless integration of Sage products with third-party platforms such as Freshbooks, Docusign, Expensify and many others.
In short, this is what it means: the fact that the API connections are pre-built virtually eliminates the need for custom-coded integrations between Sage products and third-party software.
