Crystal,
It is absolutely possible - there are a number of methods for creating an integration with SL and another system.
Key factors for designing the integration include:
- the number of systems being integrated (today the HCM, tomorrow ?)
- the number of objects being integrated
- the level of detail on those objects
- the complexity of the processes being integrated (payroll vs customer maintenance)
I see Catalina's APIs have already been mentioned, here are a few other architectural options:
- some systems have preferred partners with pre-built integrations they can refer you to
- for infrequent data integration - transaction import
- write directly to SQL database
- create custom RESTful endpoints (Azure functions are my recommended platform for this)
- utilize the SOAP web services
- create REST/SOAP translation processes (Azure logic apps are my recommended platform for this)
Depending on the architectural needs, some or many of those options may not be appropriate, others will require a combination. Most of us have our favorites - the hammers that we try to hit every nail and screw with.

Can anyone point me to a good referral source who may be able to discuss whether or not it is possible to integrate an HCM system into Dynamics SL? I know it is possible with Dynamics CRM but don't know what that is or if it's similar.
