The systems currently available today often have good functionality within themselves but offer limited communication options to the outside. With its innovative concept innotec has opened up new opportunities within information processing through the development of Comos.

Thus trouble-free communication with other applications was at the forefront from the very beginning in the Comos technology. Comos there has an open and documented object model. All the methods of the object server available without any restrictions for the development of interfaces of your own that do not belong to today’s standards or are available as an option.

In addition, as a result of close collaboration over the years with partners worldwide, innotec has developed a large number of interfaces that are now available for corporate-wide communication or for the exchange of data and documents.

These interfaces can basically be divided into graphic, alphanumeric and intelligent graphic interfaces. The following table shows all the interfaces that are currently available:
