VM Services Access
mueller Prange’s VM is the integrated and well-proven high-performance system for all the needs of media companies. The license module
VM Services Access expands the central VM system by a cutting-edge communication interface for the modern media production –
VM Web Services.
The service-oriented architecture of VM Web Services provide a new openness and a high number of new, flexible options for companies utilizing VM. This way, the integration of VM and other systems becomes much more cost efficient – closing the gaps in the process chain has never been easier.
The numbers are speaking a clear language: 50% of VM installations already have a VM Services Access license.
What are VM Web Services capable of?
As an universal program interface, VM Web Services are highly versatile. The target is to make the gathered information and the business logics available for both sides and allow to mutually edit and update them – by VM for the external application, as well as from the outside for VM. The examples for the use go from simple data exchange to consolidated user interfaces, where data from VM and other systems can be displayed in one screen mask.
The data exchange within the user’s system landscape is done in real-time, so the at any given time the highest possible data quality is guaranteed by always having the current data supply available from all parts of the system. Encapsulated logic modules ensure the data integrity during the constant exchange between the systems. User authentication as well as modern SSL-encryption guarantee that the data is only seen by eyes it is intended for.
Usage scenarios
In theory, the possibilities of VM Web Services are only limited by the imagination. Already there are plenty of projects that have been realised with VM Web Services. Amongst those are address synchronisation (censhare production system), address refinement (address-webservice.com by heubach media) and webshop integration (ecommerce solution magento®).
System integration can be easily realised by the users themselves, by utilizing standard technologies. Out of the box, VM provides the necessary tools to integrate any kind of client environment – desktop applications, browser based web applications, Rich Internet applications or mobile apps on the smart phone.
