Integration and Extensibility

It is possible to extend IFS Cloud in various ways. In this section of the guide, we will cover the details of extending IFS Cloud on the outside and integrating with other tools.

Since most of the IFS business logic is exposed via RESTful APIs, it has become one of the recommended approaches to extending on the outside. Staying outside will allow customizations to be both backward and forward compatible,especially when using Premium APIs. Note that when modifications need to be made inside the basic internal logic, these options will not come in handy. These modifications can be written in any language using any tool as long as it can consume and expose RESTful APIs. It is also possible to use low/no-code software like Dell Boomi to implement these solutions.

To know when extending on the outside is the ideal approach, see Tailoring overview.
