Integrations
PHX Terminal connects to a firm’s existing software in two complementary ways: the canonical platform automates at the UI layer through the Hover Opaque Application, and the commercial delivery program layers named enterprise integrations on top of that foundation.

UI-layer integration: the universal adapter
Section titled “UI-layer integration: the universal adapter”The platform’s core integration mechanism does not depend on a target application exposing an API. Using AI Computer Vision, the Hover Opaque Application interacts with any user interface — modern or legacy — acting as a universal adapter at the UI layer.
This is decisive for legacy systems, which are often built on outdated languages, expensive to maintain, and difficult to integrate. Two strategies apply:
- Encapsulation — wrapping existing legacy systems with APIs so they can exchange data with modern tools.
- UI-layer automation — when direct API integration is not feasible, too complex, or too costly, the platform interacts directly with the application’s interface.
This bridges the integration gap for applications that lack modern APIs, delivering value without a full, disruptive system overhaul and lowering adoption friction for firms of all sizes.
The delivery program integrations
Section titled “The delivery program integrations”The commercial delivery program (see Program & Delivery) layers a set of named enterprise integrations onto the canonical platform:
| Layer | Function | Technologies |
|---|---|---|
| Oracle AI / OCI | Legal AI automation and knowledge modeling (LLM layer) | Oracle AI, OCI |
| Microsoft 365 | Firm-wide daily workflow — Outlook, Teams, Word, SharePoint | Microsoft Graph, Azure AD |
| Salesforce | Client portal and CRM | Salesforce Experience, Einstein |
| Vendor integrations | Connectors to 20 major legal software providers | Modular connectors with version control |
Resilience of the connector model
Section titled “Resilience of the connector model”Vendor integrations use modular connectors with version control so that a breaking change in one vendor’s API affects only that connector — not the whole platform. This isolation, combined with the UI-layer fallback, keeps the integration surface resilient as the surrounding ecosystem evolves. See Risk & Mitigation for how API changes are managed.
