Rapid-fire Maintenance
In the past, a single change in an application could result in extensive code changes, debugging and redeployment. It's no wonder that maintenance accounts for the largest of all IT development costs - up to 80 percent, according to some estimates.

With Obsydian, the cost of maintenance becomes a fraction of that number, because its model-based architecture is specifically designed to support frequent change. At the heart of this advantage is Obsydian's inheritance capability, in which objects are empowered to share the structure and behavior of other objects. As a result, changes to a design component ripple through related components automatically.

Alterations to distributed applications can be made from a single centralized model, without requiring a new testing cycle. Just think how profoundly this can reduce the cost of maintaining a custom application.

Obsydian maintenance
Maintenance is simplified by Obsydian’s model-based environment. Changes made to the application design automatically ripple through the entire model to each relevant component—thus massive changes in design can be accomplished in one place at one time.
