Many organizations are turning to SharePoint to store their files and share documents. Allowing your systems to access these files might seem like a challenge at first, but with the help of the Microsoft Graph API, you can quickly download the file to start processing on your back-end. Download the example solution to get started. Use the created functions in your solution to simplify Microsoft Graph integration.

Microsoft Graph API allows developers to access data and services across a wide range of Microsoft cloud services. Admittedly setting up permissions and security can be challenging, but once that is sorted, you will be able to access Microsoft services such as Office365, Outlook and Azure. Calling the Graph API with Linx allows you to efficiently automate tasks, or integrate with Microsoft products to ensure that functionality and data is accessible by your other systems.

Generating files for data extracts, reporting and even data migration is a crucial part of any back-end team. A typical data team will have to generate many files to be sent to various clients or consumers inside or outside of the organisation. As with all things, the question is how can the generation of those files be made simpler, and can it be automated to such a degree that files are dynamically generated? The short answer is yes, it can be done dynamically.

File and folder management is a large part of backend development. Whether you are creating files, importing files, or simply following organisation standards, every system needs to consider how files are stored and archived. This is especially important for ETL or data-loading solutions. Low-code tools are a good choice when you create a process to automate your file archiving.

Cartrack is widely used for fleet management, and they offer a web service to manage jobs, customers and drivers. This post covers how you can integrate your system and the Cartrack API with Linx. The idea is to provide a base template solution to make it easier to integrate with the Cartrack API. Bring your integration requirement, add your system connectors and call the Cartrack API with the provided functions.

A common data development task is to move data from a target to a source. It can be a time consuming and tedious process when you have many sources or many targets of different types. This task can be made more complex when you add an automation component. These tasks can be made much quicker and easier to manage when using the right tool, for example Linx. This article will look at exactly how you can read and write data from these different sources.

Any organisation wanting to pursue digital transformation understands the value of good-quality data. Data is akin to digital gold, and it is immensely important to strategic decision-making. Ensuring that your data or BI team has everything they need is part of the challenge.

Business Intelligence (BI) teams often face several resource constraints that can impact their ability to deliver their objectives effectively. They must run effective operations with limited time, resources, budget and people. The role can be incredibly challenging when multiple projects are highly prioritised, where data and reports were required yesterday. That said, there are ways to make these challenges more manageable.

Data is the invaluable currency of the digital age, holding immense importance in driving critical business decisions and guiding organizations towards success. Yet far too many neglect the mechanisms that manage our data. Data integration is one of the most important parts of digital transformation.

For the day-to-day developer, deployment and hosting, plus the subsequent management of solutions in production, is a considerable challenge, especially if it’s outside their immediate skill set. Hosting applications can be complex. Besides the obvious challenges of scalability, security, and reliability (up-time), you must consider where your application will be hosted, how you plan to deploy it, how to monitor it, and more.
