Integrate Virtualized Environments

Using Cicero you can rapidly integrate applications no matter where they are running to automate workflow and provide cost-effective ways to organize diverse business applications within a consistent, task-oriented desktop.  Cicero can be used within a virtualized environment to create new composite applications from existing applications, create and consume web services and extend the functionality of legacy systems in support of Service-Oriented Architecture. Additionally, Cicero allows companies to consolidate data, streamline business processes, enforce rules and compliance, as well as add functionality - such as single sign-on - without having to purchase new applications.   

Cicero supports the integration of virtualized applications in three different deployment models:  client-side, server-side, and combined client and server-side integration. 

Server- or Client-side

Used client-side, Cicero integrates local and virtual applications to create a unified, task-oriented desktop. Used server-side, Cicero integrates applications within the virtual machine providing a unified virtual desktop.  In both scenarios Cicero streamlines workflow and improves end user productivity without changes to the applications and without writing any new code.

Server- and Client-side

Using the new Cicero Virtual Channel™, line-of-business applications running in a virtualized environment (such as that provided by Citrix’s XenApp™ Server) can be integrated with desktop productivity tools and public data sources to create a seamless user experience.
