Dear users of ARQA Technologies software products, we offer to your attention the digest of the main features introduced in solutions based on the QORT software platform in the second quarter of 2019.

ARQA Technologies released a new Web-services integration module of the back-office backQORT to expand functionality of system integration with external program applications.
The module allows adding, editing, and deleting records in the QORT database as well as receiving data from its main tables.
