Cast Iron FAQ and Examples

Welcome

At Customware we do Integration using the best product for the job. If you have a direct Integration project running on a short time frame then Cast Iron can be an excellent choice: it comes as an appliance, requires configuration and not coding and costs a lot less than other solutions in the area.

Customware is the premier reseller and implementer of Cast Iron products in the Asia Pacific region and keeping with our company value of "Share The Knowledge" we keep our Cast Iron knowledge base open for everyone to use.
