Looking for a Composable Data Architecture?
Say hello to ENCANVASExtend actionable reporting to the limits of your enterprise
Our business critical enterprise reporting platform provides rich data integration, organization and replication features to scale solutions and make data composable for consuming applications, bots and digital workers. It embraces popular software tools and exploits the talents of people charged with designing digital solutions. Â
Encanvas aPaaS adapts and integrates with your native systems environment.
Aspects of ‘environment’ include:
Software Applications Design – Integrating with popular design tools and environments (support popular behaviors and design methods)
Third party software tools – Integrating with popular software tools
Document integration– Integration with hardware and software that supports ‘document lifecycle’
Legacy integration– Integrating with the various original sources of data
Host integration – Integrating with hosting environments (e.g. Microsoft Azure)
Client integration – Integrating with client environments (e.g. Browser compatibility)
User Interfacing – Providing a coherent user experience by integrating with in-browser design components and popular tools or application components, and providing designers with the means to manipulate the usability and appearance characteristics of design elements
Data mashups
Encanvas was designed around an original thought – To offer digital workers the means to harness, work with and manipulate data by leveraging and strengthening data relationships, and to bring context to data. Our digital documents approach extends the power of our codeless data mashup capabilities. They bring more stakeholders access to actionable insights, equipping them to combine data assets from across your business (and beyond) to answer new questions and create new business process automation solutions.
Solutions design
Encanvas embraces industry standards and popular software tools to exploit the talents of people charged with the role of enterprise reporting and working with data. Â
Hyper-Drive Plug-In
Our versatile Plug-In means that almost any type of Ajax data visualization or Artificial Intelligence algorithm can be painlessly integrated into your existing or new business processes without major development overheads. It makes the very latest technology innovations available to businesses in an affordable way.
DLL Data Connector
Our DLL data connector means that custom DLLs can be embedded into the Encanvas environment. The DLL connector enables designers to specify parameters for the DLL being connected. This means any intellectual property associated with a DLL is also protected.
Third-Party Applications
If your organization has invested in third-party business software to run its business processes or perform key tasks such as geospatial intelligence, reporting and dashboarding, there’s no need to start again. With Encanvas, it’s possible to get the best of edge and cloud computing without needing to replace legacy systems and useful tools. There are a number of ways to integrate Encanvas with third-party applications.
Integration with Microsoft Office and 365
Within its .NET environment, Microsoft has established formal programmatic mechanisms to integrate between its components that can be summarized as ‘Microsoft Interop’. Encanvas employs a data connector for Microsoft Interop components to enable close integration with Microsoft .NET components. Microsoft employs interop standards to integrate with its core Microsoft Office features and systems. Use of the Encanvas data connector for Microsoft Interop enables developers to build close integrations between Encanvas and MS Outlook email, Microsoft Project and other Microsoft Office components.
Creating Custom Code
Encanvas offers a Custom Code Windows design element that enables C# software programmers to bring further enhancement to applications produced using Encanvas by custom coding. The Custom Code Window means that programmers can write code directly into our digital document design tools, or simply paste sections of code from their native development environment (such as Microsoft Visual Studio). The existence of a custom coding capability enables programmers to leverage existing source code and provides the optimal extensibility for custom applications developments.
Creating Custom Script
In a Rich Internet web portal environment, applications designers can customize their applications using the Custom Script Window of Encanvas. It enables developers to use JavaScript or HTML custom scripting to enhance the user experience, add ready-to-use components and adapt templates available from third party sources.
Facilitating Asset Re-use
We’ve designed Encanvas to be object-oriented at multiple levels so that applications designers can use the same collection of components time and again. It also includes a series of features to encourage the re-use of source code and technical components.
Integration with mapping platforms
Traditional methods of capturing and presenting geospatial information have been very complex and demanded specialist expertise. It’s not uncommon for organizations to employ dedicated experts on GIS. With its powerful data aggregation, filtering and discovery features Encanvas takes geo-spatial intelligence a step further. Not only can you integrate Encanvas with most third-party mapping platforms, it also includes its own powerful GIS engine.
Codeless data connectors built into our Digital Data Fabric
Encanvas offers a vast array of data connection possibilities with its portfolio of data connectors and software bots.
