Extension Development
*********************

This section introduces the available extension points of the TopBraid platform and explains how to use them.
Extensions may modify or extend the user interface, add new web services, implement automated background tasks and checks, and much more.

.. hint::
   Talk to TopQuadrant staff on the best approach to your extension needs.
   TopQuadrant offers *Professional Services* and *Premium Support* to help with technical aspects.
   If your requirements overlap with the general product direction, TopQuadrant sometimes agrees to jointly develop extensions for the upcoming version of the main product.
   Depending on the technical skills of your development team, this might be more efficient and actually cheaper than trying to do everything yourself.
