AJAX Enables Compelling Custom Application Performance & Handling Unknown on Web
NAPLES, FL (June 17, 2007) – Surround Technologies announced today the release of Version 7.0 of Envision Accelerator™ for Visual LANSA at the 2007 System i and AS/400 Connection Conference here. Version 7.0 represents a breakthrough in delivering high functionality in an application deployed across the Web by integrating Windows-style handling and features within a browser.
Extensive use of AJAX and other advanced programming techniques are equally important in making this a watershed event, as the benefits of this approach can only be significant when accompanied by performance levels that rival that of a native desktop application.
Surround Technologies CEO Lee Paul explains, “Seeing a Web application that handles and works like a Windows app, with no screen refresh as you move back and forth through data, liberates you from your existing preconceptions about application deployment. We have caused several major clients recently to rethink what they thought they were going to do.”
Billed as the Windows-on-the-Web (WOW) edition of the Accelerator product, the full impact becomes clear as you see how easily new custom applications are built using Accelerator’s simple point-and-click assembly process. Further, the Accelerator Wizard simultaneously builds apps that can be run on Windows desktops in addition to zero-deployment Web apps, allowing one application to support users deployed by either means and with no added training.
Version 7.0 of Envision Accelerator™ is available now and is distributed exclusively through Surround Technologies. A detailed new feature list is available in the Accelerator What's New section.
