title: Integrating Drupal with OpenERP
body: <p>We have a requirement that we need to integrate <code>OpenERP</code> with <code>Drupal</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I investigated but could not find any Drupal addon/module which will do the desired job.</p>
  
  <p>I also investigated and found that <code>OpenERP</code> is based on client server architecture, where Server exposes <code>XMl-RPC/SOAP</code> based webservices and client uses these services for all business operations and all user actions.</p>
  
  <p>More information can be found <a href="http://doc.openerp.com/developer/6_22_XML-RPC_web_services/index.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here.</a></p>
  
  <p>As per from the document, all  the business processing is done on the server.</p>
  
  <p>So considering this design in mind, and considering that we can create custom modules in drupal which can perform <code>xml-prc/soap</code> operations, it seems we can integrate <code>drupal</code> with <code>OpenERP</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Is this the only way, or i am missing something.</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be highly appreciated.</p>
