User Interface Flexibility
Chances are good these days that your business competes in an ever-changing, always-connected environment with an increasing demand for solutions for the mobile workforce. If you business is not taking steps to address this need, you run the risk of losing customers to other applications (i.e. the competition).
Whether you build a department-level application or a global enterprise solution, your application needs to support the right user interface for the type of work that will be performed. The OpenEdge platform supports local clients, web-based UIs, rich internet application (RIA) -- and everything in between.
Robust Platform Support for Mobile Deployment
OpenEdge is a robust, open platform that supports .NET, JAVA, HTML5, RIA, and more. With OpenEdge, you can rapidly develop BPM-enabled solutions with multiple UIs to support today’s mobile devices and offer end users a full Web experience versus a limited mobile experience. And OpenEdge’s multi-tenant database provides users secure access to any data, from any location, at anytime, from any device.
