    Is anyone still using the eBusiness Manager and/or eBusiness Web Services modules? I'm thinking these modules continue to be another one in a long list of Sage's road to nowhere projects.

    I'm working with a customer whose web designer is convinced that the API in EBM will give him the keys to the castle in regards to bringing in sales orders from Magento.

    Explain to the customer that writing ERP software and making web pages that are attractive to both humans and bots have ZERO intersection of skill sets, and have him talk to ROI and/or CertiPro about doing the integration.

    Yes people are still using eBusiness and web Services. We created a site with some info about EBM and it can be found here https://www.4ebm.com/. You may also find users using SData. It is true that these technologies are not being actively developed. There are limitations. The API that he would be referring to would be Web Services which is VERY limited.

    Since these technologies are not actively developed, we created our own integration for developers that gives us more control over the development of the tool. SDE can use JSON or XML to integrate from other systems. Here is a demo so you can see how it works http://www.sagedataexchange.com/demo/default.asp. More info about it a can be found here https://wiki.mbabsi.com/doku.php/enhancements/sage100/modules/cs100e-sde. What is nice about SDE is it opens up Sage 100 to get whatever you need. Some resources have already been setup and we can create code to handle any special requirements so that the developer integrating wouldn't need to know anything about Sage, we would handle any of that and let them do what they do best.

    @Todd Martin Thanks for the info! I'll take a closer look at it. One of the pro's that I see with CIMCloud is their product is scalable to 50+ webstores. Would SDE be a good fit for that type of volume as well?

    @Phil McIntosh Will do! I'll contact ROI. We talked with CIMCloud last week. Just trying to give them a few options. ​
