Comext is an advanced system for the storage, analysis and retrieval of statistical data. Developed over years of experience, Comext is also a powerful tool for the dissemination of data. In its different forms, Comext acts as a data repository and as an intermediate layer for access and normalization of data from all sorts of sources, providing users with a consistent interface.

 

Its easy and intuitive user interface permits users to quickly and efficiently take advantage of all the historical data stored in Comext’s reference database, or as an intelligent bridge to access external data sources such as  Eurotrace or simply as a data distribution tool for data disseminated in CD-ROM or DVD.

The standalone version of Comext is a simplified version that consists of the Comext Server, the Comext Client and the data in a special compressed format. This is the main form of distribution of data whether it is foreign trade, or data coming from any of the sources accessible by Comext.

  • Fast extraction and transformation of data in the required form, including creation of new user variables.
