3RD PARTY DEVELOPMENT

THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS CAN USE THE SAGE PASTE EVOLUTION SDK TO WRITE CUSTOMER SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS THAT INTERACT WITH THE SAGE PASTEL EVOLUTION ACCOUNTING SYSTEM WITHOUT NEEDING TO DIRECTLY EXECUTE SQL STATEMENTS AGAINST THE EVOLUTION DATABASE OR HAVING TO WORK OUT RELEVANT BUSINESS RULES AND PROCESSES TO UPDATE THE ACCOUNTING SYSTEM.

The Sage Pastel Evolution SDK is typically used for transaction processing and adding or modifying of accounts, as these records can originate from any external source, whether it is an external application database, XML extract, web service, or custom user interface
The Sage Pastel Evolution SDK has been created using an Application Programming Interface (API) that exposes typical Pastel Evolution functionality to application developers. 

The API embeds Sage Pastel Evolution business logic enabling external applications to connect to, and interact directly with, a Sage Pastel Evolution SQL Server database. Third party developers can currently interface with Sage Pastel Evolution however through the introduction of Sage Pastel Evolution SDK all programme logic and rules are taken care of, development time is accelerated and the integrity of the data is ensured.

Since the Sage Pastel Evolution SDK is packaged as a Microsoft .NET 2.0 class library assembly, the ideal platform when utilising the SDK is the .NET framework.  However, since many third party developers programme in various other mainstream languages, integration through COM is possible using programming languages such as Visual Basic 6, Delphi and Visual Basic for Applications such as Visual C++.
