Moving Beyond Web-To-Host
InterEST's unique capabilities place it in a class of its own for servicing next-generation EAI, and enabling customers to move beyond web-to-host to a much more coherent and optimized way of getting down to business. InterEST is based on a proprietary general purpose Java applet that has the capacity to eliminate large amounts of redundant data very quickly. That is of course in addition to minimizing multiple Java applet downloading that is usually required for each application, down to a single client download that is used to run any enterprise application.
InterEST incorporates a multitude of handy functions that executives can delve into to produce any effect they need on the fly. But beyond all the convenient beautifying and web-enabling features, InterEST delivers innovative technology that consistently outperforms the competition. It achieves this by exploiting today's powerful client resources, rather than overloading servers with extensive processing tasks. Potential bottlenecks are eliminated and uptime is maintained without adding more servers. Rather than randomly using the browser cache to operate, BIS's Verisign certification allows it to build a much more efficient InterEST cache on the client workstation. The general purpose applet only rereads the InterEST cache records when a change is made.
Superior Technology
A proprietary general purpose Java applet is the driving force behind InterEST's outstanding capabilities. Using an 'all-purpose' applet to access numerous types of legacy information instead of installing an applet for each application, dramatically reduces redundancy by eliminating the need to generate complex Java code for each new screen. The payoff is that the applet download is much lighter, takes much less time to download, and only needs to be downloaded at the client end once. Rather than running the Java client with pregenerated Java code, BIS's groundbreaking technology automatically executes predefined functions based on over 150 built-in functions that make up the InterEST development tool, BeautiFast Visual Studio.
Superior Tools
BeautiFast Visual Studio is an advanced visual development tool that is based on familiar Visual Basic tools and methods. With BeautiFast, developers can build sophisticated e-business, e-commerce, and web meta-applications in minutes using a fully visual drag-and-drop interface. Its speed and ease of use for creating and beautifying web-enabled areas are unparalleled in today's enterprise environment. Once the general purpose applet is up and running, sets of functions are automatically executed based on client changes to the database, so any graphic changes that are made are instantly updated in the central database. The major payoffs are that all users are always viewing the same updated information, and maintenance becomes much more cost-effective as well as faster and simpler to perform.
A Superior Approach
InterEST's template-orientated approach, when compared with a screen-orientated or Java code generation approach to building web-enabled displays, provides yet another significant boost to the rapid development and deployment of enterprise applications. A single InterEST template can serve as the basis for anywhere from two to two hundred screens. This is possible because the technology takes into account that certain elements such as the margins of the screen will not change. For things that do need to be changed in the center of the template, InterEST includes a unique Dynamic Controls feature for altering graphics during runtime rather than design time. Instead of designing numerous screens, this feature cuts maintenance by allowing a single template to serve as the basis for an entire batch of screens.
