Why Integrate Qontext?

Best of Both Worlds

“Build or Buy”?  Get the best of both.  Qontext is specifically architected to easily and deeply integrate with any ISV application.  Leverage the benefit of a tightly integrated solution (as though built in house) plus the speed to market with best-of-breed social features and virtually no development costs.

• Speed To Market:  Leverage early mover advantages in your market.
• State-Of-The-Art: Social is all we do…every day.  Our features are too-numerous to include all herein – e.g.,  SSO, versioning and comparing, media file management, rich text editing, security and access privileges, federated guest access, admin controls, directory sync, content searching & filtering, tag clouding, etc.
• Keep Up: Social capabilities are evolving rapidly.  Playing catch-up would be very difficult.
• Avoid Social Islands: As ISVs rush to add social features to their apps, they are creating “social silos” where social interactions are restricted to each application.  Instead, Qontext enables 2-way social collaboration between users and non-users of your apps.

Contextual Collaboration

Users do not need yet another destination or application.  They need their existing applications to be social enabled.  Qontext is the only social solution to provide contextual collaboration, which delivers the following benefits:

• Pin to Any Object: Social interactions (discussion, documents, anything) can be “pinned” (linked or associated) to any object within your application.  For example, in CRM, discussions can be pinned to an account, an individual contact, or even a specific opportunity.  This enables users to spawn social interactions right within the applications they already use.
• Contextual Recall:  By pinning these social interactions to the relevant business objects (e.g., account, purchase order, and/or support ticket), relevant information is easily recalled at any time within the context where it is useful, instead of buried deep inside an individual’s email inbox.
• Span Applications: With Qontext, social interactions can be pinned to multiple objects.  This means you can enable social collaboration across your own suite of applications and/or with other 3rd party applications.  See Qontext’s growing list of partners for opportunities to tap into social interactions with other key applications such as NetSuite, Salesforce.com, SugarCRM, LeadFormix, et. al.

Integration Choice

“Integration” is not a checkbox.  For flexibility and a seamless user experience, you need the comprehensive integration capabilities that only Qontext provides.

Bi-Directional Data integration

Everyone has an “API”, but Qontext’s comprehensive REST API provides ultimate data integration options including two-way access, security, events, feeds, alerts, etc.  Qontext also provides IDsync for synchronization with custom or standard directories like LDAP or MS Active Directory.

User Interface integration

Qontext includes a “skin-able” portal as well as skin-able widgets for quickly integrating UI components like activity feeds, alerts, or content creation tools into existing web-based interfaces.

Out-Of-The-Box integration

Qontext is the only solution provider to literally provide an out-of-the-box, no programming option to quickly social-enable your web applications.
