Leverage the
IBM i Platform and Assets
With Surround Technologies and the Accelerator ™ you can maximize the both the IBM i and .NET platforms. You no longer need to compromise or acceptance limitations. We accelerate the adoption of new technologies for both the .NET novice and the most advanced developers.
Flexible Data Access Options
ADO.NET Entity Framework simplifies application data access by providing an extensible, conceptual model for data from any database and enables this model to closely reflect business requirements. ADO.NET Data Services provides a first class infrastructure for the next wave of dynamic internet applications by enabling Web applications to expose data as REST-based data services that can be consumed by client applications in corporate networks and across the internet.
Accelerate Development Using
the Power of
.Net Native Code
Accelerator contains an agile services oriented framework that generates SOA compliant applications without proprietary lock-in, which in turn allows you to produce Agile applications with faster development cycles and the flexibility to implement agile processes.
Accelerator provides plug in integration with Visual Studio and other Microsoft and third party tools and applications that help maximize the integration capabilities of both platforms.
Flexible Deployment Options with WPF, Silverlight, & HTML5
Deployment is easier, and applications are rich and robust with the most modern client technologies of WPF, Silverlight, and HTML 5. Silverlight provides cross platform web support for various browsers such as Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer and different platforms such as MAC, Linux and Windows.
By generating native .NET code for new functionality, you keep your long term options flexible and your investment protected, plus you get the speed and economy of modern solution delivery.
