Elecat offers the fastest, most user-friendly and simply the best form of re-using paper product catalogs on the Internet.
Pages look exactly like the paper original but they become intelligent, interactive and the basis of e-business on your website.
Elecat upvalues e-paper for e-business by implanting actions, menus, behaviour and database access right into the pages. Elecat can be used stand-alone or integrated with other members of our comprehensive publishing software family.

Paper in the browser - true to the original The Flash engine inside Elecat presents pages as true to the original as PDF - but as 'intelligent e-paper' with a lot more functionalities, features and with database access and updates. Elecat upvalues e-paper by fully utilizing the capabilities of Flash that are far superior to HTML and PDF. Still, Elecat is not a pure Flash application. Elecat is a combination of familiar HTML for the user interface, plus the finest visualization of pages by the embedded Flash engine, plus JavaScript for Ajax support.

Elecat is Ajax for e-paper product catalogs Elecat provides Ajax interactive applications in the browser with true desktop software feeling and behaviour for e-business, all build around e-paper product catalogs in close combination with database access and application web server software. Elecat is also embedded in other Ajax web applications such as EleAIS, the Article Information System in the browser and it can be very easily embedded into your existing website, web application or web shop.

All based on the standard Internet technologies
No magic when displaying Elecat pages: It's all HTML, Flash and JavaScript and these most basic Internet technologies are available in all recent Internet browsers. No plug-ins, no downloads, no software installation on the local PC are needed.

Elecat offers intelligent 'ApplicationPaper' versus stupid e-paper
In simple terms: Elecat turns product catalogs into intelligent interactive 'ApplicationPaper' fully embedded into applications while PDF just delivers stupid e-paper for nothing more than reading, without any major functionality, and only stand-alone.
