title: Integration Methods of Sugar CRM
body: <p>I am going to develop a complex web application related to affiliates. I want to integrate <code>sugarCRM</code> as the <code>CRM</code> module of my affiliate application. I have some misunderstandings related to integration methods. From <a href="http://developers.sugarcrm.com/overview.php#q30" rel="nofollow">FAQs</a> at Sugar CRM website, It is stated that there are two ways to integrate one is <code>Webservice API</code> and second is <code>Module Builder</code>.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Now</strong> let me first tell you about my understanding. If you have a standalone application running on your server and you want to integrate the CRM then you have to choose <code>Web Services API</code> for it. But if you have installed CRM on your server and not having any other standalone application then you can use <code>Module Builder</code> Method. It is just like you like you have installed any CMS and creates modules to extend the functionality.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Am I rite?</strong></p>
  
  <p><strong>OR</strong> I am having wrong understanding about CRM integration? For standalone application we need to use only <code>Web Services API</code> in which we will use data using web services and show in our system? </p>
