The
closer you are to the finish line at the start, the easier it is going to be
to win the race!
When building data-driven applications, there is no better place to start
than the UA Business Framework. With all credit due to powerful programming languages
like .NET, VB, C++, Cobol, and the like, they fundamentally start the
development process with a threshold so high, that it literally takes a
college degree and years of experience just to have the ability to start a
new development project with these technologies.
As technology advances, the outlook is not getting any easier. Take the
newly released .NET development environment from Microsoft as an example.
Powerful? Absolutely! Easy to use? Well...probably not for the average
developer and certainly not for the business persons who actually will use
what .NET is designed to produce. In fact is seems that there has never been
more confusion in the market about which technology to use or how to use
them. Essentially, technology, no matter how good, is of little practical
use until it can be deployed to solve everyday, real world problems.
By using the UA Business Framework, both technical and non-technical types start with
all that the latest advances in technology we have to offer, but without the
threshold requirement of possessing a deep understanding of how the
technology works before endeavoring to create a powerful business
application. Accordingly, a talented young MBA with a fresh new approach to
a business process can become directly involved in expressing that new
approach in a new business application without having to understand the
programming languages that will make the application run. Likewise, an
engineer can directly express a complex process through automation with no
risk of a loss of complex concepts through a mis-translation of his ideas by
the programmer.
