One of our key goals in the Reckon API team is to foster relationships and integrations with global applications as we continue to expand into the UK and US.
I am therefore pleased to announce we recently joined the CData eco-system (see
http://www.cdata.com/drivers/reckon/)
CData provide bi-directional access to live Apps, Databases, & Web API's Data through Standard DriversSome of the drivers include Google AdWords, MS Project, Exchange & Excel, Netsuite, SugarCRM, PayPal, Dynamics, Salesforce, Facebook, Twitter and many more...
The Reckon to CData integration is currently in beta, so the guys at CData would like applicable Reckon customers to sign up and test the tools.
I would recommend starting on the FREE Excel Add-in:
http://www.cdata.com/drivers/reckon/excel/ which pulls RA data straight into Excel, but is accessed from an Excel tab rather than an external application.
The SQL query window also uses MSSQL syntax, so for those who know how to form your own queries it is very simple and powerful.
Indeed, even if you do not know SQL, you can run some really simple code to test the power of the add-in. eg.
SELECT * FROM Customers will return the entire customer table from the RA file you have specified. Try additional queries at
