At your applications' base
FlexAB is a tool for the non-programming application creation, with
object-oriented flexibility, and utilizing robust relational databases.
The developer interacts only with objects, the data and their relatio-
nal structure are transparent for the configurator, and there is no
time losing in relations, indexes, tables, etc. Thus, reducing the deve-
lopment time in the application creation. The Objects utilization
makes possible their reutilization in other applications, as well as
their link with other applications, sharing the information in all the
families of systems developed directly by FlexAB, without interme-
diate processes or interfaces.
FlexAB leans on a special, standardized, fixed, and optimized struc-
ture of tables on relational databases which makes possible the
objects storage in a transparent way. This structure of tables and
their associated functions for information handling is known as
ApliWare OrDBC (Object Relational Data Base Core).
FlexAB is developed from its bases oriented to Objects and to the
object application towards the information technology processes.
Due to this, it is a powerful tool when it comes to data processing.
FlexAB tool by AppliWare is a software which allows you to create
your own information system applications in a simple, dynamic, fast
and safe way without programming. FlexAB has embeded functionali-
ties for file management in a transparent way.
What is FlexAB's main idea:
to generate software appli-
cations capable of meeting
companies' needs without
having to develop a custom
software, and without the
constraints of having to
choose a shelf-ware or
"canned" software. The
best solution for any com-
pany lies halfway these
two ends. It is widely
known that custom solu-
tions end up being expensi-
ve to maintain, too depen-
dent on the implementa-
tion designer, and difficult
to enhance at an affor-
dably cost. On the other
hand, shelf-ware solutions
normally cover the compa-
nies' general solutions,
rather than the specific or
particular needs. It is here
where they fail, and the
company has to make an
effort, or even a change in
their usual procedures to
fit the software.
Custom or Shelf-
ware Solutions?
FlexAB
FlexAB is a combination of both
things: it is a tool which provides the
framework to develop a fully custom
application, but on a platform which
does not require programming so it
standardizes the software creation.
What does this mean? : The custom
software constraint elimination,
since the FlexAB-built applications
are not programmer-dependent, are
open, the application know how
remains with the end-client, are fle-
xible, and can be fully enhanced
with no surcharges.
