Extentech Inc., a leading developer of Java components and development tools, released Exteria, a code-free integration platform with built-in spreadsheet server. Exteria is an easy-to-use Graphical Scripting Environment that allows for the integration of complex systems using a 100% code-free development interface. With Exteria, system integrators, web developers, IT departments, and power users can simplify, integrate, and build applications by graphically visualizing the flow and transformation of data. In addition to a graphical data flow designer, Exteria comes equipped with a spreadsheet mapper, robust CellBinder spreadsheet automation engine, and for those that need it, the full power of the ExtenXLS Java spreadsheet API. With the spreadsheet mapper, users can import existing spreadsheets, map data from any source, convert spreadsheets to Web services, and deploy the applications on a scalable J2EE server with a single mouse-click.

With the release of Exteria, Extentech has combined the capabilities of an Enterprise Application Integration platform with the ease-of-use, reporting capabilities, and analytical power of spreadsheets, states John McMahon, CEO of Extentech Inc. As a code-free SOA framework, Exteria converts legacy and standalone applications into spreadsheet-enabled services with just a few mouse clicks. Now our customers can load and re-use existing spreadsheets and service-enable them as a part of any number of data automation flows. This functionality is based on our best-in-breed ExtenXLS Java Spreadsheet API, a robust Enterprise-class Java technology, proven to handle the most complicated spreadsheets and cross-platform deployments with ease. Extentech pioneered the use of spreadsheets as a front end to business intelligence and reporting from live data. With the introduction of Exteria, our customers can now extend this functionality beyond reporting and transform their spreadsheets into full-blown SOA applications.

The EAI functionality of Exteria is built upon the the robust and mature technology of ASTERIA, the No.1 market share EAI software in Japan, developed by Extentech’s strategic alliance partner, Infoteria Corporation. Over 300 enterprises use ASTERIA including: KYOCERA Corporation, TOSHIBA Corporation and Tokyo Metropolitan Government.  Built upon ASTERIA’s code-free graphical scripting environment, Exteria allows users to easily develop dynamic Web2.0 applications by service-enabling existing infrastructure and connecting the services together into data flows that output to web, email, and other formats. For more advanced systems, Exteria provides a B2B integration platform with multi-protocol, multi-format links for use in: reliable messaging based B2B systems, SOAP based casual B2B systems, and automated access to Web-EDI sites. Exteria accommodates the integration of multiple enterprise applications by providing a single standardized and scalable interface.
