You shall use the CMIS API to integrate documents from Alfresco in other apps like OpenCms, Joomla, Drupal, etc.

There are many, many options to integrate. First question is how you want your systems to communicate - through filesystem, HTTP, WebDAV, Email? HTTP is the most logical option normally, and you can use webscripts (aka customizing your HTTP communication), the CMIS API or the REST API here.

A webscript is simply having Alfresco handling an HTTP request. If you want to move files around, use a multi-part post request
