Wrapping a legacy backend system with a rich user interface?

Canoo designs and develops user interfaces for your backend systems that increase the productivity of your users substantially or – if you want to do it on your own – provides support by means of consulting and training.

A German insurance company uses a Java-based RIA to integrate heterogeneous legacy applications and provide a single rich user interface for all its insurance borkers. They migrated their legacy C++ application suite to a rich thin client Java application.

Automating global business processes?

Rich Internet Applications offer the opportunity to consolidate business processes for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Supply Chain Management (SCM), logistics or financial systems, merging fat clients, web applications, multi-user and offline applications. Improved user interfaces are better suited for complex business process applications than simple HTML. Canoo offers end-to-end services to help consolidate applications and processes.

A leading mail order company uses a Java-based RIAs to manage its global suppliers. Canoo provided training.

Consolidating HTML and desktop applications?

In many corporations, various HTML, desktop, as well as older legacy interfaces exist to access the same application functionality. Rich Internet Application technology offers a way to merge rich clients, web applications, multi-user and offline applications and to consolidate your application portfolio. Canoo is experienced in migrating fat clients and HTML interfaces into a rich thin interface, offering development, as well as consulting and training services.

For example, the financial services subsidiary of a multi-national corporation migrated a Swing fat client and its corresponding HTML interface into one Rich Internet Application to manage and process financial guarantees worldwide. Canoo provided development services and consulting.

Distributing Software as a Service?

Software as a Service (SaaS) offers benefits such as lower investments in software, faster time to deployment, and the ability to focus IT resources on core business objectives. Various indepedent software vendors - that develop business software such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Supply Chain Management (SCM), logistics, or financial systems - are moving their applications to the Internet to profit from SaaS distribution models. Profit from Canoo's Rich Internet Application expertise to offer desktop-like, responsive web user interfaces for your SaaS customers.

For example, a Swiss ERP vendor has developed a Rich Internet Application for its new generation of software in order to offer new business models for small and medium-sized enterprises.

Moving your web application to mobile devices?

Processing power on PDAs, handheld terminals, and cell phones is increasing rapidly, and many companies have identified the need for RIAs on mobile devices.

Canoo is a leader in developing RIAs for mobile devices. Canoo offers consulting, testing, as well as development services.

For example, Canoo carried out a proof-of-concept for handheld and vehicle-mounted devices used in the logistics sector and developed an extension based on ULC Mobile for a Bay Area company that offers software solutions to manage logistics and cargo.
