Web applications are becoming the predominant standard for communication and business process provisioning among business partners. Various processes in different business fields such as purchase, sales, or quality management are carried out on self-service portals. 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

Based on Lixto's award-winning technology reliable services autonomously perform routine activities on web portals. Such a service can log into a web application, fill in query forms and execute a navigation as part of the automated tasks.
