Improving User Productivity Through Systems Integration

Additionally, such technologies as Windows, coupled with Object Linking and Embedding (OLE), are examples of other minimum standards that have been defined at the higher levels of the architecture to provide users with seamless access to multiple functionality through a single application or desktop screen. OLE provides the ability to embed objects (i.e., documents, images, and text) within objects or link them to other externally stored objects from within an object, regardless of the application that created the embedded or linked objects. The applications that operate on these objects can be automatically launched by selecting the objects.

Object Linking and Embedding (OLE), or automation, is the ability to place objects from other software programs into another application. This ability allows both the expansion of the program’s abilities and the ability to manipulate data in another application. An example of this would be taking a movie clip (AVI file) and embedding it in a Word file. Even though Word has no idea what a movie clip is, it can display it in the word processing environment. OLE is a method by which objects can be transferred between applications.

Object linkage embedding (OLE) automation is a technology developed by Microsoft to interact with other programs. The interactions require two actors: server and controller. An “OLE Automation Server” can be controlled by other programs, whereas an “OLE Automation Controller” can control other programs. Considering that Microsoft Visual Basic 6 is an “OLE Automation Controller” and WITNESS is an “OLE Automation Server,” the two software programs can interact by having the former control the latter. Similar linkage can also be established for a visual basic program to call Microsoft Excel.
