    Hi Abhay

    Yes you can integrate any third party system with salesforce easily with the help of either REST Api or SOAP Api.It would be better if you mention us the name of the system with which you want to integrate salesforce.

    For integrating with REST Api roughly you need an endpoint URL and proper documents from third party database which will help us to use the methods of get and post in that system

    Salesforce devloper guide for REST Api can help: https://resources.docs.salesforce.com/sfdc/pdf/api_rest.pdf

    For integrating with SOAP Api you needs a WSDL file of third party database and then you will parse the WSDL file in salesforce which will make some apex classes of third party then you will use methods of newly genrated classes for making changes in the third party database.

    Salesforce devloper guide for REST Api can help: https://resources.docs.salesforce.com/200/10/en-us/sfdc/pdf/apex_api.pdf
