Question : Advice needed... getting data from another application into Access

Hello- we recently started doing some contracted work at a large company that uses Tririga Facilities Management software.  We are looking to see how we might be able to connect to this system to pull some of the data into our own project management application.

On the Tririga website, I found the following blurb:
-----
"The TRIRIGA Application Platform improves interoperability to an organization's critical business systems such as financial management and ERP systems. The TRIRIGA Application Platform provides four key integration tools to connect TRIRIGA applications and processes to other enterprise systems. TRIRIGA BusinessConnect provides a Web Service API used to insert, update and query operations for all records within the TRIRIGA applications. TRIRIGA DataConnect provides a bulk load data migration utility to import data into TRIRIGA records. Single Sign-on Integration (SSO) overrides TRIRIGA's login process with external LDAP or Active Directory authentication. TRIRIGA Offline capabilities provide a dynamic import and export of TRIRIGA data using formatted Microsoft® Office Excel speadsheets that are automatically processed as email attachments.

I would like to get some feedback as to how others might approach this. Web Services?  I have never ventured into that area but if it enables us to read data- I am all for it.   Surely the last option is doable, but the others seem so much more intriguing!  (if only I understood them better...)

Thanks!

I would think the API services world give you the most flexibility. For on idea of how to use API calls in Access see:
