New White Paper: Intrexx and SOA

Cost reductions in the administration of a company’s IT system and the simplification of everyday work processes within the company are important issues. For this reason, greater attention has been paid in recent years to the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) approach, which excels in particular by breaking up the IT environment into different modules that are unproblematic replaceable. This offers major advantages with regard to the flexibility, maintenance and stability of the existing IT system.

Intrexx has embraced this approach and taken it a step further. As an integration platform Intrexx can replace existing standalone solutions or integrate them seamlessly with each other. Existing investments will be protected, because data from systems such as SAP or Lotus Notes can be easily incorporated into the Intrexx Portal. Users can easily add new applications or restructure and automate important business processes ensuring a more streamlined workflow. With Intrexx acting as a SOA middleware, organisations will be able to build modular systems whose elements are flexible, adaptable and reusable.

In our free White Paper ‘Intrexx and SOA’, we will highlight the real advantages of founding your IT system on the principles of Service-Oriented Architecture. We will also explain how Intrexx can help you to simplify, reorganise and structure your IT landscape in a modular fashion.

Workshop: Dropdown lists with multiple columns

The answer is to create multicolumn dropdown lists using the Intrexx Datapicker. This workshop will give you all the tools you need to do this quickly and easily. ...more

Intrexx Live! New application: Presentations

Presentations given by company employees should not be regarded as a ‘once only’ viewing opportunity. They often include information and data that is not only interesting and relevant for the occasion they were created for but can also become useful reference material after the event. Well crafted and extensively researched PowerPoint presentations, for example, can provide a good basis for other presentations and lectures in the future.

With the new free Intrexx application ‘Presentations’ companies will be able to manage all such presentations in a consistent and convenient manner. You can easily upload presentation documents, make notes, and enter additional information such as date, occasion, author, and information about the audience it was originally intended for.
