Mart Technology's integrated development environment and run-time platform enables you to create fully-functional applications rapidly, which will run on a broad array of hardware and network configurations. The environment is suitable for all enterprise applications including ERP, CRM, e-commerce and Web Services.

• Develop web enabled applications easily
• Develop them fast
• Applications are portable
• Suitable for all enterprise applications
  

J2EE (Java 2 Enterprise Edition) and the Swing component set have revolutionised the development of web-based applications. An impressive set of components permits the use of tree structures, tables, combo-boxes and many other features we have come to expect from a rich Graphical User Interface (GUI). Mart Technology's platform has built on these components to create a superb environment for the rapid development of sophisticated applications.

• Expanded use of J2EE components to give rich GUI
• Embedded support for context-sensitive "help"
• Embedded client-side data-validation capabilities

A built-in security and authentication model enables systems administrators to set up users and assign access rights. Access can be restricted at the application, page or even data element level.

• Point-and-click tools to register users and assign access rights
• Embedded authentication
• Dynamic customisation of the desktop to reflect user's profile

The platform is Unicode compliant enabling it to display any character set, including mathematical symbols. It will also support multiple date and currency formats. Its architecture permits organisations to build an application once but deploy it in countries with different languages and alphabets, simply by maintaining a central cross-reference table of text elements.

• Unicode compliant
• Exchangeable character codes
• Multiple date and currency formats
• Ideal for easy internationalisation/localisation of applications

Mart Technology's platform supports genuine multi-tier development with a clear separation between the database/data warehouse, application server and presentation layer. Data is exchanged using XML. The same data can appear differently when presented over the Internet to customers and suppliers or via an intranet to employees.

• Client-server data exchange via XML
• Multifaceted access to SQL databases
• Operates in "Standalone", "Internet" or "Intranet" modes

Solutions can be deployed across virtually any hardware configuration, from a single PC to a bank of mainframes. This makes Mart Technology's platform an appropriate choice, regardless of scope of application or required performance and resilience. It also means that your systems can keep pace with changes in your business.

• From PC to mainframe
• From simple to complex
• Ease of upgrade

A compelling attraction of web-based systems is the ease of deployment - applications are "deployed" simply by running them. In addition, Mart Technology's whole development environment can be deployed automatically, making installation and subsequent upgrades hassle-free. Built-in version control assists developers in tracking their work during the build-and-test phases of a project.

• No run-time deployment of applications
• Automatic deployment of development environment
• Built-in version control

Mart Technology's software runs on a Microsoft, UNIX or Linux platform and interfaces with leading database management systems, including Oracle, Sybase, MSSQL and the popular, freely available MYSQL.

• Operating System independent
• Database independent
• Conformity to industry standards

"Technology independence" permits you to isolate application code from changes in the environment. With our platform, you can benefit from advances in browsers and Java technology without having to revisit your applications.

• Isolation of applications from the environment

Competitive pricing and compatibility with open source software make Mart Technology solutions highly attractive. A functionally rich development environment helps keep maintenance costs low. By running applications over the Internet, you will reap additional savings in telecoms charges.

• Competitive licensing costs
• Compatibility with Open Source Software
• Reduced maintenance costs
• Reduced telecommunications charges
