For more
than a decade, Synon has been synonymous with innovation.
In 1986, Synon introduced Synon/2, which quickly became
recognized as the premier application development
environment for the midrange marketplace. Many companies
have used Synon/2 to construct some of the largest and
most complex applications ever deployed, in virtually
every sphere of industry and commerce. With Obsydian, Synon has again
established a new level of excellence in application
development solutions. Synon's solutions reduce the cost
of application design, development, deployment and
maintenance, while significantly improving quality and
functionality.
Building On
Industry Experience Indeed
Obsydian represents an entirely new breed of application
development tool. Obsydian builds on the best features of
the past while incorporating new concepts and
technologies. It is a complete application development
environment that:
- Ensures that business
processes are accurately reflected in
applications by improving the linkage between IT
and the end-user. The result is an
"application model" that reflects the
needs of the business.
- Improves developer
productivity by enabling a high degree of
software reuse via supplied and custom-designed
business objects.
- Reduces maintenance
costs because Obsydian's integrated application
model facilitates frequent modification. Changes
are made once and are easily propagated through
thousands of lines of code, user interfaces and
reports- all automatically.
- Delivers powerful
partitioning capabilities so that applications
can be designed for the highest performance
throughout an enterprise with minimal or no
alteration.
- Protects investments
by equipping developers to generate code in
native C++ and other languages such as RPG, with
support for a variety of databases - thus
enabling those who prefer to make a gradual
evolution to client-server to continue their work
on character-based applications.
- With Obsydian,
developers can create customized,
mission-critical relational database applications
for client-server environments in a far shorter
timeframe - software that stands the test of
time, meets precise corporate needs and costs
dramatically less to maintain than anything
before it.
That should relieve some
of the pressure on today's IT departments, allowing them
to help grow the business.
Moore’s
law predicts a doubling of hardware performance every 18
months—yet software in the same timeframe is
becoming increasingly expensive to construct. Synon tools
are designed to reduce this productivity gap, making it
easier to match the strides in hardware performance.

Obsydian
provides a model-based environment with class
libraries of reusable components to accelerate
the design and delivery of software, thus
enabling you to reduce the productivity gap. |
