“Omnis Software has announced the release of Omnis Studio 3.0,
the latest version of their powerful and popular 4GL rapid
application development (RAD) program. The new release incorporates
extensive changes to their web server and Web ClientTM
technologies, significantly speeding up web-based business
applications. It also includes a range of other enhancements to
make the development experience more intuitive, easier to use, and
more powerful.”
“In the emerging markets of Business Intelligence Systems and
Application Service Providers, it is essential to supply solutions
that work robustly and with the minimum of perceived delay for the
user. Omnis Studio 3.0 has been evolved to specifically meet the
needs of these markets. With improved server technology and fast
development times, Omnis based solutions will allow customers the
best possible browser-based application experience.”
“The core of Omnis Studio has been rewritten to take full
advantage of multi-threading when executing methods or directly
accessing databases such as Oracle, DB2 and Sybase. This
significantly improves the efficiency with which simultaneous users
can access, use and modify the same data. Load sharing extends this
functionality across a number of servers, with Omnis dynamically
allocating the least used server as each new client accesses the
program. These two innovations create an environment where web
based applications are much closer to the traditional client/server
user experience.”
