Welcome to the Arbortext Monster Garage!
There are a million “Uber Geeky” things you can do in Arbortext. Here at Single-Sourcing Solutions, we always talk about the ease of use and the out-of-the box advantages to Arbortext suite of products. What we don’t spend enough time with is talking about the cool things you can do with it.
- Arbortext is a mature platform: The entire set of tools works together.
- Arbortext is open: The entire UI and publishing pipeline is 100% available through a well-tested API.
The possibilities are enormous for anyone who wants to do new, interesting, over-the-top things with their product information.
Of course, for us this comes as second nature, but for those of you out there who are new to the eco-system, it may not be so apparent. We decided to start a new web series featuring the Open API and the “geeky” things you can do with Arbortext. You’ll find knowledgeable mechanics, here. Many of our shop coaches have been working with the product for a decade or more.
Put on your shop coat, because here we go….
