Epionet expands Product Suite

New tools for Enterprise Web Solutions

11 March 2002

Epionet, headquartered in Dublin, Ireland has announced an expansion in its growing product suite at the XML & WebServices Conference in London. The new product suite is called Epiowave and consists of EpioBusiness Server, EpioBuilder and in beta, EpioDesigner.

Epionet offers a radical approach to designing e-business applications through an XML web services open environment which is supported by a suite of products for accelerated design, development, deployment and integration. Epiowave can be used by internal IT departments, third party software vendors and systems integrators to greatly enhance their approach to delivering powerful web applications.

EpioBusiness Server configures, deploys and administers business solutions in web-based environments, across Intranets, Extranets and public facing Internet. It consists of advanced System Services, which manage common system elements, such as web servers, security and logging and Application Services, which manages functionality common to all applications.

EpioBuilder is an advanced toolset which delivers an overall architecture for building enterprise web solutions such as learning management applications. It contains a smarter, more intuitive set of tools and services to help manage many of the repetitive and time-consuming tasks associated with developing web systems. This advanced technology is for developers working with component-based solutions and web services.

EpioDesigner, which is currently in beta, focuses on reducing the communication gap between Business Users and Technologists during the requirements analysis, prototyping and usability stages of the software development lifecycle by adopting a simple yet sophisticated process. Based on standard processes and tools, EpioDesigner has a fine tuned methodology for clear, rapid application analysis and prototyping specifically targeted at the delivery of web applications.

The Epiowave product suite is aimed at the global developer community where time and cost savings of up to 60% can be achieved.

Speaking at the launch Liam McMahon, Vice President, said "We have spent 3 years developing the Epiowave suite and toolsets. Our aim was to assist organisations to produce Enterprise Applications more efficiently than using standard development tools by creating an environment where application developers forget the bits and bytes of technology and focus on delivering business value. This facilitates higher quality and shorter time to market than with just the tools themselves."
