Contextor is a key solution for Desktop Application Integration (DAI) projects.

All different existing applications running on the workstation can be integrated “as is” in traversal business processes without any need for change:

• No need to request changes to the software providers of legacy applications
• No need to change any line of code.

The following technologies are currently covered: mainframe 3270/5250, Windows and MS Office, Java swing, WEB, client/server applications (as POWERBUILDER, NATSTAR, DELPHI, etc), ERP, CRM, Extranet.

Two features (that can be combined):

• Extend the GUI of your legacy applications (WEB or WINDOWS) by adding transparently new pop-up windows.
• Build a “composite application” encompassing all legacy applications and by this way enforce the Desktop Application Integration.

Contextor Workflow Engine allows automating the repetitive or error-prone tasks.

Automated transversal business processes can encompass one or more disjointed applications and by this way improves the overall productivity of the desktop application users.

Contextor allows tracking real-time (business or “technical”) information that requires constant monitoring. This information can then be gathered in reports available for administrators or business users.

Typically the reports requested are related to:

• Performance: response time
• Productivity: number of times a specific task (or application) is run.
• Consistency: checking of amount values used in transactions, etc.
• Etc

Extend with Contextor the business scope of your legacy applications by adding new business logic.

For example:

• Add new validations rules to incoming data: to check the postal address entered by the customers, etc
• Retrieve customer data by using a new access key: reverse phone directory, etc.

These extensions empower the efficiency of your desktop applications.
