Program sources of the Elecat client
You can license the extremely well documented Elecat client sources in JavaScript for modification
by your staff and/or for including our sources into your own code. It will be very simple to work into our sources, because they are extremely well documented and implemented in pure object-oriented style with >20 yrs of o-o experience. For smaller changes it will be better to have them implement by us
into the original sources so that there will be no need to port these changes to all future releases.

Elecat can be fully integrated into your web portal, web shop, or your web application
Please talk to us if you want to integrate Elecat into your portal, your web shop or your web application. You can also use your name and logo for the Elecat software. Since more than 90% of the development effort was for Producer, Server and Publisher and only less than 10% for the client, it would be totally inefficient to reinvent the wheel, especially because the Elecat product line has cost a couple of men years to develop (as part of other projects and re-using our comprehensive o-o class library).

 POR
  Application server in other technologies
We are offering full co-operation to large end-users and distribution partners regarding the development of their own server logic to supply Elecat clients integrated into their web solutions. This applies if technical or strategical reasons dictate you to embed the Elecat logic into your existing systems in other technologies. We are absolutely open for such plans and we shall support you to the best possible.		 T&M
