Overview
Designed from the ground up to meet today’s business challenges, Aptify has incorporated some of the key features organizations ask for. Far more than just a set of functional Web applications, Aptify e-Business is a leap toward the flexible and easily adaptable communications and management tools organizations need for the future.
The most exciting benefit in Aptify e-Business is the flexibility of adapting the functional capabilities using the Aptify Technology Platform, coupled with the power of Microsoft .NET. That flexibility allows you to use e-Business exactly how you choose. In addition, Aptify has built a vast array of out-of-the-box functional capabilities that appeal to many e-Business needs. The entire user experience with the Aptify e-Business Suite is configurable using graphical tools, including any of your favorite HTML editing programs.
Aptify e-Business integrates fully with Aptify AMS and can be used with any content management system (CMS). The Aptify e-Business Suite also can be installed against a .NET Web site, as well, allowing the same wealth of features to users operating without a CMS.
Aptify e-Business Suite Extensibility
The base Aptify e-Business Suite has been designed as an extendable software platform, enabling organizations to leverage their presence on the Web with no programming or HTML coding. Using powerful functionality within Aptify and the Microsoft .NET development components, your personnel can use Aptify’s tools to easily create configurations that extend the e-Business Suite functionality. In addition, changing the look and feel requires no technical background at all. Many areas of the software are driven by database options. To match the styles, fonts, colors, and other attributes to your own Web site, simply use the HTML editing tool of your choice to easily change any aspect of the look and feel of the site in a secure and transparent way.
