Thunderhead NOW was specifically designed to work with established IT standards and to integrate easily and seamlessly with other business systems - that’s one of the reasons we based it on XML and open standards. Straight out of the box, Thunderhead NOW will also work with many of the leading Enterprise Content Management (ECM) and Business Process Management (BPM) solutions.
Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs)
Thunderhead NOW fully supports Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs) and was built with integrated web services. It can take XML-formatted feeds from literally any data source.
Thunderhead NOW also supports Content-Enabled Vertical Applications (CEVAs) and Content-Centric Applications (CCAs).
Enterprise Content Management (ECM) Solutions
Thunderhead NOW platform works out of the box with many of the leading ECM solutions, including:

Thunderhead NOW can reuse content stored in ECM systems to create communications. It can also output Thunderhead NOW communications to ECM repositories for archiving and records management.
Business Process Management (BPM) Solutions
Thunderhead NOW also fully supports the BPEL (Business Process Execution Language) standard for web services. This means it will work with external business processes created by leading BPM solutions, including:
