Platform Extensions Overview

The SkySync Platform allows users to connect to on-premise and cloud storage platforms and orchestrate the content contained within those platforms. Out of the box, this includes migration and synchronization of content between platforms as well as any related metadata and permissions. However, the platform was never intended to solve every problem or connect to every storage platform out of the box. As such, the platform allows customers and extension developers to extend it in a number of ways to better suit their needs. Examples include:

• Adding a custom connector that allows SkySync to connect to on-premise or cloud storage platforms that are not provided out of the box.
• Adding a custom transfer extension that transforms content (i.e. converting Word documents to PDF) during an on-going migration job.
• Integrating a 3^rd party document classification engine that enhances custom metadata (i.e. extract invoice numbers and customer names from documents) attached to documents during an on-going migration job.
• Adding a custom ReST service that exposes SkySync data rolled up in a different manner or data generated from a custom transfer extension.
