Just add business logic! And, even at the point where you are creating the business logic for your web-application, Instant Enterprise .NET's built-in scripting language makes it easy. Run complex SQL queries and transactions through a secure web-service layer and display the results in your web-application with a single line of code! And, create the SQL transaction and the line of code with a Wizard!
We're not saying that you can create any web-application without programming, but the amount of time you do spend in an editor will be reduced to just your specific business logic, and not the specific business logic, and not the much larger chore of writing and maintaining the other 90 percent of a web-based business application.
The InstantEnterprise.NET Software Factory
InstantEnterprise.NET makes use of the 90 percent of common features found in most web-based business applications and presents them in such a way that they can be re-used without modification.
For the remaining 10 percent that is specific to your business, the InstantEnterprise.NET framework includes customizable templates that can be configured to meet your specific needs.
After looking back at many years of experience creating software, it becomes clear that a large percentage of effort is spent reinventing the wheel through mundane UI enhancements, and rewriting UI that is generally not reusable. Sure, there are UI components that offer value; but there remains the large and seemingly endless chore of writing and rewriting the code to make use of these 'modular' components. This is where InstantEnterprise.NET steps in to reduce the workload. By examining MANY business applications, it became apparent that almost all of the functionality could be performed with 4 basic constructs. We call these templates.
Currently, we have one template for listing and editing records; another for creating new records; one for displaying static tabular and graphical data (such as on a user dashboard), and finally one for displaying configurable reports.
Beyond this point, most applications are involved with securing, driving and tying these functionalities together -- something InstantEnterprise does for you -- and executing specific business rules and processes, something that Instant Enterprise .NET frees you up to you focus on!
Other Features and Benefits
Standardized – Because applications are
built using configurable templates; user interfaces are standardized; this pays off with easier to learn,
easier to use finished applications
Scalable – Because of its modular design built on top of MS SQL 2005 and .NET and web services, your application can
be scaled for dozens to many thousands of users.
Secure - By default, your applications are built secure, allowing you to decide exactly what functionality
to expose to which users or groups. Also, adding any user action to the audit trail is easy, adding
complete transparency to your operations.
Intelligent – The framework interface automatically places bookmarks, remembering where you left off,
and provides a simple interface for working on multiple areas concurrently.
Flexible – Our powerful wizard driven interface enables you to add new screens and menu options to your
custom application with a simple point and click approach. For power users, our simple and straight
forward scripting interface allows you to add virtually any business logic you can think of.
Safe & Easy Backups – Because InstantEnterprise.NET securely stores your business rules as a table in your database, back-ups are complete -- back up your database with your usual process and you are also backing up your application!
