PROIV today
What is PROIV?
PROIV is a Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool, enabling software
developers to build & maintain scalable business applications very quickly.
PROIV addresses the high development and maintenance costs of software
applications through its non-procedural language, where much of the
'glue' and 'plumbing' is automatically generated, letting the developer
focus on the business logic, and also making testing more reliable
and easier to perform.
A persistent problem in application development is the slow time-to-market.
PROIV is a proven product that can reduce the development time without
sacrificing industrial-strength robustness, as some RAD approaches
have tended to do.
As a RAD tool, PROIV is designed to be a highly productive development
environment that can easily be deployed on a large number of platforms,
future-proofing the application against changes in operating system,
database or user interface. An application originally designed for
one platform can be switched to another with minimal modification.
PROIV principles
This roadmap is built on some underlying core PROIV principles:
• Rapid. PROIV is about delivering Rapid
Application Development.
• Portable. Applications developed in PROIV
will be portable across a wide range of servers, databases, network
topologies and user interfaces.
• High level. PROIV is an advanced toolset
allowing developers to concentrate on business requirements rather
than complex technology.
• Open standards. PROIV will support standards
wherever possible, and will interoperate with other technologies.
