In general you can interact with the platform using the REST API:

For creating embedded customizations and integrations you can use the APS SDK that allows you to extend the platform for building your specific extensions:

From my experience, leveraging REST APIs and webhooks can streamline data flow between Alfresco and CRM/ERP systems effectively. Tools like Apache Camel or MuleSoft offer robust integration frameworks worth exploring. Success often hinges on clear data mapping and handling asynchronous events seamlessly. If you're diving into this, consider starting with small pilot projects to validate workflows before scaling up. By the way, I found some alternative options for Sage 100 that might interest you if you're exploring different solutions.
