The Silverbullit Application Framework (SAF) enables rapid development of business desktop applications without sacrificing quality.  Think of SAF as a really fancy desktop application waiting for something to do.  We have taken all of the common features and tasks typically found in enterprise applications and packaged them together to form the foundation for a robust desktop application framework.  This saves you time and money because you are spending more time coding business logic and less time coding features that yield no return on investment! 

Question: If you asked a programmer about rapid development, what would he or she most likely comment about?

Answer: If you ask the typical programmer about rapid development, they will most likely say that by delivering an application faster, you sacrifice quality.  Not so with SAF.  We have taken the industries best practices and applied some innovative thinking to provide an desktop application framework that delivers a high quality at a fraction of the cost.

Features

 Microsoft .net Based - The entire solution is coded and runs on Microsoft .net technologies.

 Source Code Available - Upon signing a non-compete agreement, we can release the source code for the entire solution.

 Agile Development - Perfect for agile development!  From the board room to market in a flash.  Get that prototype up and keep the users in the loop the entire time to ensure they get quality software how they envisioned it.  Using our framework, your solutions will be so agile, it's scary!

 Component Based UI - The current user interface looks just like Visual Studio 2005.  You can create disconnected, helper panels that listen for certain types of messages.  It's kindof like message queueing, but with the user interface.  Example:  If we created a map panel that listened for mapinfo messages and we created a windows form that broadcasted a mapinfo message, we could add very advanced mapping features to our form with less than 10 lines of code.  Now, apply that concept to Business Intelligence(dashboards), Stats(charting), etc.

 Save Money - If we haven't said it already, you will save money in development.  You don't have to spend money coding stuff that doesn't make your company money.

 Less Time - Bring your idea to market faster than your competitors. 

 Multi-Company - Have a corporate structure that is a little bit complicated.  SAF provides support for creating multi-company aware applications.

 Windows Forms - Programming with our framework is as simple as opening up Visual Studio.net creating a windows form.  Why?  Because that is exactly what you are doing!  It's simple, you set a reference to our API.dll, and tell your project to debug using our UI.exe and you are coding ready. 

 Pluggable Architecture - Much like you can add various plug-ins to products like Microsoft Word, you can extend Flex IT AF in the same way.  In fact, you can download and install a new plug-in and begin using it without restarting your application!

 Caching - Think of caching as a local storage device inside your application.  It increases your applications performance, scalability, and availabity.

 Configuration - The advanced configuration options in Flex IT AF enable you to change key settings in the application on the fly!  Many application make you restart it if you change a configuration setting, not Flex IT AF.

 Cryptography - At some point, you will most likely need the ability to encrypt sensitive information.  Flex IT AF provides advanced encryption and hashing features to keep your information safe.

 Data Access - Any application that performs basic business function has to access a database at some point.  Flex IT AF has this covered by providing the ability to connect to multiple database providers, such as Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, and many others.

 Error Handling - Flex IT AF provides a consistent interface for handling and reporting errors back to the end user. 

 Logging - The ablility to log information, of any kind, is always needed in an application.  Flex IT AF provides advanced logging functionality, including logging to different types of data stores.

 Security - Business information is usually provided on a need to know basis.  Out of the box, Flex IT AF facilitates user authentication & authorization.

 Easy Updates - Current design is intended for a shared environment on the local area network.  Releasing updates is as simple as copying files to a network share.  The process is very similar to releasing updates for a website.
