IT Professionals

Clickability’s sensible toolset and easy-to-master UI means that business users no longer need to be webmasters. In fact, most business users of the Clickability Platform become competent in a day or two.  What does that mean for you? Your IT team no longer needs to spend their days—and nights—killing bugs and holding users’ hands. That frees you up to focus on strategic projects that will truly differentiate your company.

There are huge infrastructure cost benefits, too. Our redundant, geologically separated, active/active production environments feature top notch hardware that is cost prohibitive for most organizations to build, scale and maintain.

But you’ll not only sleep better at night knowing you’re leveraging a state-of-the-art infrastructure. You’ll also be protected by a secure network topology that meets the stringent security requirements of industry leading companies like BMC and NetApp.  Our secure platform software is architected with OWASP10 in mind, and tested by independent auditors.

Designers and Engineers

Clickability’s open architecture and robust feature set enables fast and flexible growth. Your brand isn’t just defined by the content on your site, it’s also defined by the experience your visitors have with it.  That means having a site that can take your content and present it any way you want.  It means being able to hook into best-of-breed services to enrich your site with video, feeds, widgets and social media tools.  It’s delivering your content not just on your own site, but to your partners and applications, while simultaneously iterating design and functionality quickly and efficiently.  The Clickability Platform delivers on that promise.

We start with a full-featured, open source-based template environment, Velocity, which provides a simple yet powerful and flexible means for creating templates to drive the look and feel of your site.  A little deeper, the Clickability Platform extends Velocity with Java-based, platform-native methods and objects to access your content and connect to other services.  Further, APIs and SDKs are available to access not only your content repository but your website visitor data, as well.

As a designer or engineer developing on the Clickability Platform, you get tools that enable you to perform critical site development such as:

Integrate partners and services with template calls:

• Velocity on the Clickability Platform has been extended to include methods that provide httpClient services, SOAP messaging, REST-based requests, etc. for integrating Web Services
• Facilitates integrations with services like Salesforce.com, KickApps, BrightCove, Twistage, Facebook, Twitter, Omniture, Google Analytics, among others

Manage your content repository and create your own features:

• The Clickability Platform has industry-standard hooks for performing content management outside of the Web interface, through SOAP APIs and Java SDKs
  • Those looking for straight Web Services calls can plug in to our WSDL to create and manage content and media. Java developers can leverage our deep SDK
• Used to perform tasks such as Salesforce.com integrations, FAST search integrations, or “behind-the-firewall” applications (such as Siebel integrations or hooking into on-premise legacy CMS platforms or print publishing systems like CCi)

Hook into your Website Visitor profiles and database:

• Like the Content and Media API/SDK, the Clickability Platform gives you an interface to Website Visitor registration via APIs
  • Ability to authenticate, register, and modify your users across all of the properties in your account
• Can provide a path forward for profile management through third parties or your other sites, along with partners such as The Port

Services and support stop the nightmares

When your company partners with Clickability, our services team custom-configures the platform to meet your unique objectives. And Clickability customer support doesn’t come from an offshore phone bank. Your websites are supported by Web engineers dedicated to delivering the best customer experience you’ve ever had, from any company. They become a part of your team.

With the backend covered, reach for the stars

If a robust backend puts an end to the usual fire drills, what does that mean for technologists? Among Clickability’s customers, it means an unprecedented chance for technologists to shine. Our technical customers become centers for innovation, creating new applications that win new business.
