Lightning Connect

Use the Apex Connector Framework to develop a custom adapter for Lightning Connect. The custom adapter can retrieve data from external systems and synthesize data locally. Lightning Connect represents that data in Salesforce external objects, enabling users and the Force.com platform to seamlessly interact with data that’s stored outside the Salesforce organization.

Lightning Connect has been renamed to Salesforce Connect. The Salesforce user interface and documentation will be updated to use the new feature name in Summer ’16.
