Web based applications development software

V9 - for the development of Web based applications, particularly for document management and workflow-based applications. V9 is also used as a web enabled ‘front end’ to access the CMPIC database.V9 is a proprietary development environment developed by Cloudis to facilitate the development of multiple applications to meet a range of business requirements quickly and cost-effectively. From a technology point of view, V9 utilises the functionality of Oracle, Java and other 'middleware' to create approachable, robust and cheaply deployable development and runtime environments.The emphasis of V9 is to produce a technology which is flexible to the customer. This flexibility extends from data to business logic to the system look and feel. V9 is based upon a flexible and scalable Oracle database model that allows all system elements to be maintained as data. Rarely has the functionality of applications including the look and feel of the product been delivered as data from a database.Cloudis offer functionality of applications and business processes directly from the underlying database. Without the need for knowledge of middle-tier languages such as Java and XML, a vast amount of power and control is passed on to the administrator of the system.V9 is a rules-based technology, i.e. all elements within the system are managed within the system itself as discrete pieces of information which allow product configuration and implementation. Rules within the system can be written in standard SQL. Thus, in order to manage the system, develop new functionality, or develop brand new applications, the key skill set required is a knowledge of SQL.Until recently, information, business & process management systems often did little more than reproduce a filing cabinet in electronic form. Today it is clear that greater benefits arise not from storing information electronically but from making it flow smoothly and securely around an organisation and beyond.
