With the Lixto Web Process Integration solution processes on self-service portals can be automated and web applications can be operated automatically.

Bi-directional Service Automation

Such a service can log into a web application, fill in query forms and execute a navigation as part of the automated tasks. The objective of the Lixto Web Process Integration solution is to provide a full process integration across company boarders. Results obtained from individual web applications are directly transferred into internal enterprise systems where data are further processed. Likewise, data generated in the internal work environment are sent to the external web applications.
