Overview

The Challenge – Responding to Change

Your organization probably owns numerous packaged, custom and legacy applications. These applications excel at performing specific business functions and often represent your organization’s best practices. The challenge is to rapidly combine these best practices in ways that meet changing business requirements. Traditional approaches to integrating applications are time consuming, require specialized IT resources that are expensive and produce solutions that are inflexible to change.

The Above All Solution

AppBrowser Composite Applications

Above All Software’s AppBrowser™ suite of products are the first and only tools designed to provide business users the ability to point-and-click assemble and run composite applications. Composite applications are new solutions created by combining functionality from existing systems like enterprise applications, Web services, legacy systems and database procedures. Visual tools and wizards enable point-and-click assembly where users find, select and combine capabilities from existing systems. With no programming and no changes to existing systems, business users can assemble solutions that integrate critical business functions such as sales, finance and manufacturing.

AppBrowser creates fully transactional solutions that go way beyond the simple aggregation of content. Transactional composite applications leverage the investments your organization has already made by repurposing existing business logic and best practices.

The AppBrowser product suite consists of Runner, Builder and Designer.
