Desktop Integration Platform

Organize your enterprise applications into a unified desktop user experience

The Challenge of the Enterprise IT Team

Delivering business software at scale under the pressure of urgent business requirements is extremely hard – even for seasoned software teams. There’s no time to take a breath: modern developer technologies have increasingly short lifecycles, making applications “legacy tech” shortly after they are released.

Complicating matters further, in-house apps are rarely used in isolation. The business needs third party applications integrated too – sharing context and synchronizing with all the other desktop apps.

The struggles of the IT department affect their users’ workstations. Users toggle between a mixture of web, desktop, and VDI applications, performing repetitive, error-prone actions and manually copy/pasting across the disconnected systems.

Desktop Integration Platform as the Solution

We’ve seen plenty of failed monolith rewrites, portals, and overgrown CRM extensions. While not wrong, those approaches can be risky, complex, or limited in their capabilities. A Desktop Integration Platform implementation is a new architectural pattern that provides a robust, future-proof, and extensible way forward.

How does the Desktop Integration Platform work?

The Desktop Integration Platform organizes and integrates multiple apps logically through a local message broker, and visually, through advanced window management shells, commonly referred to as Workspaces. The platform environment then becomes a standard delivery channel for the organization’s software development teams. Publishing apps into the platform puts them automatically at the users’ fingertips.
