Why Fonto Connectors?
Fonto Editor requires an external content repository (CMS) to provide permanent storage of documents. The editor can be integrated with a CMS through a set of contracts (APIs) which should be implemented by the CMS (CMS integration guide).
Fonto Connectors provides a way to connect your configured the editor to your CMS or cloud storage without the need to implement the contracts in the CMS. Simply configure the Google Drive connector for a quick proof-of-concept. For the next stage, or at any time of your choosing, the Google Drive connector is simply swapped with a connector for the Enterprise Content or Document Management System of your choice.
Fonto Editor requires hosting. Fonto Connectors offers integrated hosting of the Fonto Editor.
