Users can also personalize their experiences. "We built Channel Islands specifically for the cloud using HTML5 and RESTful API services to give our customers the ability to personalize and extend the software to adapt to changing business needs,” Bill Keese, SVP of R&D, said in a prepared statement. Channel Islands is built on the QAD Enterprise Platform, which debuted last year. President Pam Lopker says the platform will enable customers to adapt to a large number of new technologies, such as IoT, blockchain, AI and 3D printing.
