I think its basically the options what you see on the Data Source Tab of the TI Process - ODBC, Text files, ODBO and SAP

Do you mean for TM1 to pull data from other sources or for Tm1 to act as a data source for alternate front ends?

Obviously TM1 can connect to any data source that supports ODBC drivers, and now as of 9.5.1 with framework manager packages supported as TI datasources the field of potential data sources to connect to is now a whole lot bigger. In terms of TM1 acting as a data provider for other front ends then basically anything that supports MDX, there are a number of them out there such as Cubeware, Arcplan, Microstrategy (you could also include Executive Viewer in this list.)
