Connecting Third-party Systems

Across offers several solutions to connect third-party systems to the Across Language Server.

Solutions and Use Cases

With the solutions that Across offers, so-called cold and hot integrations are possible. They differ in the way how files are transferred from your source system to Across and how (if at all) the systems interact.

Type
Details
Cold integration
Cold integrations are services that watch a so-called "hot folder" and trigger actions such as project creation, check-in, etc. when a new file is added by a third-party system to this hot folder.
Hot integration
With a hot integration, the third-party system communicates directly with Across through crossAPI SI functions.

Across offers the following solutions:

Solution
Type
Use cases
crossConnect
Cold integration
Standard solution of Across for cold integrations.
crossConnect for External Editing
Cold integration
For implementations where an external editing step outside of Across has to take place (e.g. QA or MT).
crossAPI SI
Cold integration
Used to implement your own connector service that uses crossAPI SI for the interaction with the Across Language Server.
crossAPI SI
Hot integration
Used for a third-party system to communicate directly with Across.

crossConnect for content systems

crossConnect is the easiest way to connect Across to any content management, product information management or document management system.
