Upgrade
We take precautions to ensure that no individual upgrade plan compromises data or the availability of services for any customers. This includes informing you about new versions, what's changing, and when it's deployed - with the opportunity to test and update your offerings in line with the SuperOffice CRM Online services.
Preferred technology stack
All types of technology platforms, including Java, PHP, Python, Ruby, and many more can integrate with NetServer web services.
Any technology stack that supports web services can connect to and exchange data with SuperOffice NetServer via REST or SOAP protocols.
For SOAP SuperOffice supplies .NET proxy assemblies as NuGet packages. All other technology platforms must generate their own proxies, or use raw SOAP/XML, to access the web services.
Set up your SuperOffice app development environment
Before you begin coding, the application must be registered in the Developer Portal.
