Object Builder - Simplifying the Complexity
What if you had a tool that allowed you to develop new, complex applications quickly?
What if that same tool came with a complete architecture and a host of support functionality that made creating a secure, robust web-application or even integrating with existing applications a manageable, predictable and low-risk undertaking? What if that tool came with a complete web UI framework and controls where the web pages could be generated from a simple description by non-programmers?
What it included a complete documentation system so that you could also document your applications using the same descriptions.
What if you had the Object Builder from ObjetX.
The ObjetX Object Builder and couple with Application Platform makes building software, even complex applications, a straightforward process.
By providing a unique, simple and powerful way of describing all of the pieces that make up an application, the task of creating the application from the description is highly automated and highly predictable.
The ability to predict delivery of product accurately and effectively is what determines the difference between success and failure.
What businesses really need is a vertically targeted, out-of-the-box enterprise level Application Builder, Application Framework and Integration tool along with a comprehensive support systems designed to address rapid development and deployment of high function applications.
We can provide templates of application descriptions for different industries and business models. Our toolset provides features such as highly automated front-end generation, database generation and management, report and documentation creation, predefined data and process models, standard data-exchange formats specific to the industry and a flexible and comprehensive role-based security model.
The Object Builder makes development faster and offloads much of the effort required to build such models from scratch.
This software, easy to learn with an architecture designed to support complex, high transaction business software, systems integration and industry standards, will streamline the process of producing a professional User Interface, provide a highly secure and efficient business application layer and ease the task of tying together disparate back-end systems through web services and highly efficient grid based computing to provide rapid access to company data and systems.
The technology and application challenges many businesses face in a quickly changing environment can be demanding and are fraught with risk.
The good news is that we have the know-how, the technology and the product to help them keep up with those changes and to mange the risk.
Companies short on time can implement new software and integrate quickly, effectively and with assurance that they can continue to meet future needs.
They can undertake projects with an assurance that they will meet requirements in a manageable and predictable fashion.
