Applciation Applications
Applications are flexible online business services that can be placed at any level in the Epiowave enterprise system/portal site.

Epiowave applications can seamlessly exchange information, yet remain functionally independent of each other.
 

EpioDesigner concentrates the mind on functionality reuse from the beginning of a project development, it is not an afterthought once the application has been implemented.

The EpioDesigner product is now in Beta version 2.0 - a full product toolset will be made available soon.

Reliable, speedy design process

  • EpioDesigner is a context based software design process in combination with a set of standard tools.

  • It includes rapid application prototyping tools and templates. These tools help translate requirements analysis and functional mapping of the system into accurate, full-featured prototypes.

  • EpioDesigner is a stepwise process which is used to capture business logic for any web based application and drive a component / web services-based development.

  • EpioDesigner may be used in part or as a whole, depending on the proposed system type or complexity.

Role and context based system design

  • The requirements of the business role lie at the heart of the EpioDesigner approach.

  • Web service enabled applications are built based literally upon the needs of those intending to use the system.

  • Contexts, and roles within contexts, drive how each system is designed and delivered.
