ANS QuickBuild

SQLWindows/Centura Based Applications For Client/Server Solutions

What Is It?

QuickBuild is a tool for viewing and amending records in an information database from either a MS-Windows screen or a web browser.

QuickBuild builds your application without you having to write any programming code and it documents what you have built for you.

Why QuickBuild ?

, You can buy an application and face whatever bills the software house decides to send you for upgrades. This can be very expensive since you have lost a level of control over maintenance costs.

, You can build an application from scratch. Quality is determined by ensuring that standards are maintained throughout the project development lifecycle but this takes time and lots of IT skills.

, You can build an application out of tried and tested components of a known quality with short delivery timescales. Maintenance costs will be low because you can change your application quickly and easily without writing any program code. This is the QuickBuild approach, which will greatly reduce your project costs.

How Does QuickBuild Work?

QuickBuild provides you with some blank form templates already populated with MS-Windows style boxes.

Users have to select the forms which they want, placing the text which they want beside each box, decide the type of information which they want to go into each box and the order in which the forms should be displayed.

Using point and click mechanisms you can add your own validation rules and 'help' text.

Example Users:

, Users

, Business Analysts

, IT and Programming Staff.

Is QuickBuild Just A Program?

QuickBuild is made up of several modules:

, A module for developing your solution.

, A module for running the finished solution from a MS-Windows workstation

, A module for running the finished application from a web browser.

Who will benefit?

Any organisation, which needs to capture, modify and view information and who wishes to:

, Allow access to existing systems via friendlywebbrowsers or PCs to reducethe costs of deployment.
