Features & Benefits
The Cloud Connector for Microsoft SharePoint 2010 and Office 365 connects your local corporate line-of-business data to your cloud-based SharePoint:• Extends the SharePoint cloud capabilities to existing
data sets, that will continue to reside within your corporate network – directly connected to native SharePoint lists in the cloud and always up-to-date.
• No programming or tools required: Setup in a few minutes guided by a wizard. No installation or customizing in the SharePoint cloud required.
• Compatible to ALL SharePoint 2010 offerings: On premise, any hosted, Office 365, sandboxed etc.

The connector runs where your data resides today - on any server or client inside your corporate network with Internet connectivity per http / https available.
