Customizing Existing Software

Using EASA, an organization can create custom interfaces to multiple existing applications, giving users simplified access to key software tools and data.

Most organizations use diverse applications spread across the enterprise. A typical business process may involve multiple experts in different fields, each using specialized software tools. The process may be executed hundreds of times annually, amounting to thousands of hours per year.

Once the process has been simplified with an EASA application, it can be executed by any authorized user using a desktop computer, laptop, or mobile device, regardless of geographical location. The user does not need to be an expert in the underlying software, and yet can produce result within minutes. The time (and money) saved is limited only by the number of processes a company decides to improve in this way.

EASA has been used by clients to “wrap” many different types of applications including:

  • Databases such as Access® , MySQL® , Oracle® , SQL Server®
  • Scientific applications such as MATLAB® , MathCAD® , gPROMS® , FACSIMILE® , and DICTRA®
  • Graphical packages such as Tecplot® , EnSight® , Adobe Flash® , GNUPlot® , ImageMagick®
  • Engineering software products such as CAD and CAE
  • Commercial queuing software such as LSF® and PBS®
  • Office applications such as Excel® , PowerPoint® , and Word®
  • Other desktop applications such as WinZip® and Adobe Acrobat®
  • CRM systems such as Salesforce.com®

"Globally dispersed and culturally diverse internal customers have not historically had access to some of our most valuable tools. The EASA platform has changed this; we can now rapidly build and deploy to the enterprise custom web-based applications that facilitate the use of our existing tools, such as CAD, Excel, and even legacy codes and databases… This results in improved product quality, and reduced time to market." - John Clisham, HPC IT Manager, Procter & Gamble.
