Testimonials

Epionet and its flagship product Epiowave have received high praise and feedback from the Web Services and ebusiness industries. Read what others say:

"Epiowave, which comes in two editions: Developer and Enterprise, is the generic name for a suite of tools used in the designing, building, and management of Web service applications and application components. Layer abstraction to the degree implemented in Epiowave is a prime factor in the ability to re-use, either directly or with little change, the applications developed in this environment. Not only does it demonstrate the conceptual understanding of Component-Based Development (CBD) but is technically implemented to a high degree."

"Central to the strength of Epiowave is the fact that it goes far beyond the development of applications, it provides an end-to-end solution from design to support of the applications, taking in prototyping, the actual development, testing, and deployment along the route."

"The n-tier nature of the developed applications increases the scalability of the deployed solutions. Epiowave applications are relevant to environments that need to support a large number of concurrent users, high-speed performance, and high-volume transactions. Multiple application servers can be utilised, with sessions being independent of any single instance."

"Epiowave is an excellent technical interpretation and implementation of the best concepts of CBD and development for Web services."

"Any organisation that is prepared to understand the complexities that development for Web services will bring, but also prepared to realise the benefits will require applications developed with a true n-tier architecture. Given the level of abstraction that Epiowave applications possess, the inclusion of this solution on any shortlist should be a formality." [download full report PDF file - 57KB]

		...the ability to instantly share components with other developers and system users means Epiowave provides an ever-expanding reference model of business functions.

"I believe that any organisation considering building an enterprise portal to deliver applications to its employees, customers or supply-chain trading partners should consider Epionet. Their solutions could allow an organisation deploy a single corporate desktop for its business users, personalised to each individual's need and incorporating direct interaction with other computer systems inside and outside the firewall. The Service-Oriented Architecture, capability-based security, web service repository and XML data exchange throughout means the whole architecture features the best of breed of technology developments in recent years. I believe that Epiowave provides the means by which organisations can raise application development to a new level. The magnitude of the productivity gains quoted by Epionet are staggering but I am not really surprised since the industry has promised such massive efficiencies for decades; it is just that traditional technology vendors have repeatedly failed to provide the complete application deployment platform necessary."

"Epiowave provides an environment that incorporates all the major aspects of application development and deployment, such as configuration management, development lifecycle, testing, performance measurement, monitoring and software upgrade. J2EE is still very low-level and oriented at the software developer. To my knowledge, established Java technology vendors and the Java community, in general, are not providing the same class of productivity tools."

"Epionet promote good software engineering discipline. The component repository with the ability to instantly share components with other developers and system users means Epiowave provides an ever-expanding reference model of business functions within the organisation that should accelerate future application deployment. This is one of the most powerful features of the whole environment and is well beyond anything from established technology vendors."

"The EpioDesigner further demonstrates Epionet's understanding of the full application development lifecycle. It extends the reach of the Epionet's solutions back into the requirements gathering process, an area rarely considered by other vendors. EpioDesigner further encourages best practice and allows organisation to build a catalogue of reusable analysis patterns that will accelerate future application development. Epiowave, together with EpioDesigner, means that Epionet provides one of the most comprehensive and compelling solutions in the market today for building and deploying web-based application."

"I am most impressed with Epionet's achievement. They have succeeded where many before them have failed and in a relatively short time. Epionet's commitment to XML and services-oriented architecture, from the beginning, should pay off, since they now have intellectual property associated with two years of experience developing and using technology that has only recently become available from established technology vendors."

		It is truly astonishing...the power of what can be done with the Epionet solution.
	MRI Ireland

"I was anxious to gain first mover advantage, so speed to market was a corner stone and critical to success. But even so, I was astonished with the speed of delivery of my system using the Epionet development environment. My requirement was the design, development and deployment of a revolutionary and very complex business model for supporting information flows between multiple parties and it was completed within a matter of weeks. It is truly astonishing, even to the layperson, the power of what can be done with the Epionet solution."
