Further, because Q-Link’s technology is pure Java, it’s fully extensible with custom and third-party applications.Ivan Koon, Adobe Systems Intelligent Documents Business Unit senior vice president, says, "The acquisition of Q-Link provides a powerful process management engine to the Adobe Intelligent Document Platform. Q-Link’s technology is a highly extensible and scalable architecture that will enable Adobe to give customers a simplified way to orchestrate and integrate document process management with core applications."
