CliqIT takes Cliq from an Office Automation system into the arena of the Business Information System. With CliqIT, Cliq becomes the delivery vehicle for information from all kinds of applications - with the ability to maintain a consistent look and feel with other Cliq Applications. Thus Cliq can provide easy to use solutions which accomplish needed business objectives.

CliqIT is a powerful screen painter and high-level language that facilitates the integration of RDMS or other 3rd party applications. This is achieved in a way that allows Cliq to maintain independance from the RDMS or 3rd party applications, and between these applications. Applications can be used collectively to build up information, even though they may have no knowledge of each other, or any normal way of passing information. All the leading RDMS packages are supported including Oracle, Sybase, Ingres, Informix and Unify.  CliqIT works in a way which allows moving from one RDMS to another, "invisibly" as far as the user is concerned. Implementing CliqIT requires very little effort by the MIS staff.

Third party applications, a user's own custom application or calls to the operating system utilities can be incorporated using whatever facilities are available within the package for input/output of data. In many cases, the application's report printing facilities are used.

Full RDMS integration can be achieved using the native facilities of the RDMS, including SQL and Report Writer. The advantage of using native commands, rather than interpretive commands, means that product and version independance is maintained, avoiding the need to keep product releases in step, and that any SQL extensions, specific to the RDMS, can be used.
