The Appway SDK offers a comprehensive way to develop and deploy additional functionality next to Appway in the form of adaptors and connectors via an open and standards-based software integration architecture.

Using pre-packaged or custom-developed adapters, Appway offers an extendable data, service and process integration interface towards systems such as Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Enterprise Content Management (ECM) and Enterprise Information Systems (EIS).
