# Integrations
Docgility provides an integration interface to easily configure methods to bring external data sources into the application as options for users. For example, integrations may include:
- GenAI/LLM Integration - You can configure the application to call external GenAI interfaces with associated prompts to provide recommendations and other GenAI outputs to the application.
- External Data Sources - You can configure the application to access external data sources like NetDocuments and other document repository resources to bring in documents and other links as needed.

TIP
For most Enterprise environments that configure for SSO (Single Sign-on), the registration page is usually not necessary, since it's unnecessary to register new users. If Enterprises would like to enable registration of external users, the registration page can be used (this functionality is typically not used in enterprises.)
