Backend Integration
In order to further facilitate the integration between a public administration’s IT systems and an Access Point, a Connector can be put in place.
An eDelivery Connector may also be used to facilitate the integration between backend systems and Access Points.
The next diagram shows the same exchange scenario with the eDelivery Connector. The connector offers capabilities like linking up to legacy systems, advanced monitoring and evidences.

You have access to advanced and configurable logging of events related to the exchange of data and documents
Scalability and Performance
You can exchange documents and data files larger than 50 Mb
Your back-office has different ways to connect to the message exchange network
