Application Programming Interface (API)

Casewise ® Professional Services Group has now developed an Application Programming Interface (API) in order to expand the Corporate Modeler Suite and transform the tool into an increasingly open and customizable solution.

Application Programming Interface (API’s) is a set of object classes and functions provided by a library to support the building of applications. It is merely the language used by all the Corporate Modeler Suite modules to communicate with the central repository.

The API’s grant the opportunity to improve Corporate Modeler’s features or complete them with user defined modules. Through the introduction of API, users can now read the entire content of the Casewise repository to fully benefit from it as well as write in the repository in order to ease and automate its development and population. Furthermore, users also have the ability to automatically create full graphical representations (diagrams) of the repositories content.

The objective of using API is basically to increase the modeling project ROI. In addition, API offers to reduce the modeling effort and as a result provides powerful population tools to import data or automate the creation of diagrams. API also helps to raise the value of the repository creating customized documents or web sites using consistency engines to control and guarantee the uniformity and quality of the repository.
