Live Data Connector to SAGE accounting
I was reading up on data connectors to 3rd party platforms such as Excel, Access, etc. but didn't see any information about accounting systems such as Sage or Quickbooks. Has anyone ever linked an accounting systems to Smartsheet? I am assuming it is possible, but I want to gather other's experiences if they have.
Thanks!

Thanks@Andrée Starå
One of the simplest and most reliable ways to do it is using one of CDATA's drivers. With that you can basically connect anything to anything with whatever tooling your prefer.
I'm a big fan of CDATA because they have robust & resilient connectors.
We've connected to QuickBooks Desktop 4 different ways and connect to QuickBooks Online using the API.
It depends on your specific use case.

@JeremiahHorstickCan you clarify more on how this works and wich CDATA driver you used? I am very confused.
-
JeremiahHorstick ✭✭✭✭✭✭
@NikkiOnoCData provides standards-based, reliable data services. It is a technically-implemented approach to extending Sage functionality with Smartsheet. Similarly, the CData Smartsheet driver can read/write records. The Smartsheet API and Data Connector are the other technical services I recommend, while Bridge & Data Mesh may accomplish your aim without a technical lift from your team.
What are you building / implementing?

@JeremiahHorstickI was trying to connect employee hours in QuickBooks time to smartsheets

@NikkiOnoThe hour values are accessible, however QB doesn't provide an easy way to access complete payroll data without a 3rd party payroll integration or QuickBooks Time.

- Data Shuttle: You mentioned you work for a small company and already use SCC. If it's been a while since you talked with your account rep, I suggest contacting them just to see what they can offer. I've seen them offer much more attractive pricing to small companies lately. (One company I'm working with was able to upgrade to Advance for a fraction of what they were quoted a few years ago.)<\/li>
