FEATURES

Businesses use a mix of operating platforms and hardware to operate. There is a need to provide common applications and integrated systems across their entire enterprise.

As Internet use continues to expand, new challenges arise to integrate Web content into existing applications, distribute applications quickly, and scale operations to meet fluctuating demand. The complexity of integration, deployment and scalability increases as you change business operations in support of partnerships.

Qik Developer features include a configuration editor which simplifies management of applications. And a debugger that identifies errors in your application, making test and correction easier. Sales prompts help make travel agents more effective and reduce average call times. They will no longer need to consult job aids.
