For this, we have to resort to different ways of doing it, from connections to web services (REST/SOAP or SAP), connections to external databases, or even, in the case of older legacy systems, through customized C#/.NET extensions. Using the last one, we can also extend features that are not found in OutSystems through native code.
To understand all this, the chapter is divided into the following sections:
