Moodle User Integration

Hi All, I am new to Moodle, but my company is looking at taking all users within moodle and integrating them with users in our external system.Has any one every done this and if so can you point me in the right direction as far as documentation, examples, etc?

Is there a non invasive way to say create a plugin that detects when users are added and then calls a external service to also add the user to the external system? are there any call backs to addusers?

So in our case moodle would be the primary point of entry.

Many thanks ahead of time.

Take a look at moodles web services:

We use those and our own sso authentication plugin. If you want to capture new users coming into moodle authentication plugins are one way to do it.

Thanks yes i was looking into plugins ,  webservices an events. That seems to be the ticket.

As a side question will moodle let you explose your own webservices through a plugin to talk a external system? EG external pings moodle vs moodle pushing data out.
