Break Through the Backlog

Web 2.0 promises to expand the functionality of core business applications, knit together multiple services, and deliver a feature-rich user interface to enhance the customer experience and employee productivity.  However, to achieve this promise companies have been forced to choose between quickly delivering the applications their business groups need, and deploying applications that comply with the CIO’s supported infrastructure. Unfortunately, the result is either long development cycles and growing backlogs, or “shadow” systems deployed under the CIOs radar.

With ActiveGrid, business teams can build new web applications quickly or migrate non-compliant, client/server applications to modern IT infrastructure. Traditional J2EE or .NET tools require extensive developer expertise In contrast, ActiveGrid’s Studio is an easy to learn visual tool for building “Web 2.0” application that deploy in standard Java or open-source runtimes.

• Productivity: rapid application development to reduce business application backlog.
• Migration: convert proprietary, client/server apps into open, web-based apps. Easily retrain MS Access, Lotus Notes or PowerBuilder developers to build Web 2.0 apps.
• Compliance:  deliver standards-based applications that can be managed, secured and maintained by central IT.

ActiveGrid delivers the power of Web 2.0 to a broad base of developers in a short time frame:

• Eliminates unmanageable, “shadow” systems deployed in business units
• Allows developers in business units to create applications which can be maintained by IT
• Provides a simple to use visual tool that can be used by client/server developers
• Delivers standards-compliant web application deployed in existing infrastructure
