No integration required.

Unlike most software systems that require the sharing of data to automate processes, the nature of the knowledge-rich processes Contextware excels at managing only need to reference other data sources so that business users can learn and make better decisions. So we treat all relevant information sources as business objects. This approach allows great flexibility as objects are defined then accessed via descriptive information like location, author, etc. (also known as metadata).

Contextware is a business logic layer that drops right on top of your existing infrastructure. We reference information, URLs, applications and resources only when they are relevant to the task at hand.

For Contextware to utilize resources and applications, we simply need to define the relevant kinds of metadata that would make it meaningful to your business. Then we catalog the resources, and reuse them across many different business activities.

Another benefit? Rolling out enhancements is made much simpler as a result.

Contextware helps extract greater value from your existing technology investments.

Our goal in building the Contextware platform was not to replicate existing technology and functionality that you've already invested in, rather it was to augment it and provide the missing piece (context, of course), making systems exponentially more usable and useful. Helping you extract more of the value you expected when you made the investment.

Well, a little integration may be required.

Since we can't divine what app servers, portals, CMS, OS etc. you've invested in, should invest in or will invest in, you will probably want to add Contextware to whatever you are using to manage logins as well as consider how much user profile data should be shared.
