Supported Integration Technologies Preface

This preface provides an overview of supported integration technologies.

Supported Integration Technologies

Before PeopleSoft 8, PeopleSoft Tools & Technology (PeopleTools) delivered a variety of tools and technologies for integrating PeopleSoft applications with each other and with third-party products and services. Typically, these technologies were narrowly focused on industry-specific transactions and data formats. Although we recommend the more robust and adaptable tools delivered with the current release, the older technologies documented in this PeopleBook are still supported.
