Develop web-based business-applications with Polar Studio

In many organisations, the Intranet is only used to distribute static information, like telephone-directories of information about the companies' products and services. However, the intranet is also the ideal medium for business-applications. The Polar Studio development-toolkit brings these web-based business-applications within reach. Though possible, Polar Studio is not ment for building content management systems. It's all about web based business applications.

Blue Polar Web-applications

During the development of web-applications, the developer normally tackles many technical issues. When using Polar Studio, all these technical issues are already covered and tested. This way, the developer can focus 100% on the desired functionality. Also, a developer with only limited technical skills can build advanced web-applications. Code completion is just one of many time savers built in Polar Studio.

A ‘custom application' for each audience

Token Virtually any information-system has multiple user-groups, each with its own permissions and features, like admins, managers and customers. Polar Studio is fully equiped to deal with these issues and to customize the application for each user-group by a few clicks. The web-application will automatically regard all permissions and group-specific settings and will display a customized application for each user-group.

If your business-application contains sensitive data, you can implement security-tokens (either hardware or software) with just a single click.

Extremely fast development results in lower cost

The advanced and rich standard functionality of Polar Studio and its advanced add-ons, reduce the development-process to less then 20% of what you're used to. Systems that are normally developed in months are now developed in weeks. Polar Studio offers so much flexibility, you can now develop the applications using Rapid Prototyping, with more satisfied users as a result.

Examples

A human-resources application
The employees of the HR-department manage the system. The financial department will grant the actual payments. The employees can view and edit (some) of their personal data, like their address. They can also use the system to search telephone-numbers of their colleagues.

A system for the ‘Education-department’

An employee enters a request for a training in the intranet-application. 'Education' receives this request and sends requests for information to some selected training-institutes using the application. The training-institutes review these requests and respond directly using the web-application. 'Education' filters the responses and sends the most applicable offers to the employee.

A central sales-system

The account-managers use the application to register all offers they sent to their clients. They can only see and edit their own offers. At the moment the client accepts or rejects the offer, the account-manager registers the response. The account-managers can also register other agreements. In case of illnes, the manager grants an other account-manager to handle the work of the ill account-manager. The manager also has a continuous up-to-date insight in all current offers and agreements.

Technical conditions

The needed technique for a Blue Polar application is relatively simple. You install the Blue Polar Application-server on one of your servers (Windows 2000 and up). The business-data is stored in a database in your network, like SQL-Server, Oracle or (for smaller applications) MS-Access. The users use their web-browser to access the application (Netscape 7/Internet Explorer 5 or equivalent) to run the application. Because the application is installed on one server only, implementing updates is done within minutes.

Each server can - depending on the characteristics of the application and the hardware - handle 250 to over 1000 concurrent users. This implies that also large applications can be made using Polar Studio.
