Keeping up with Change

The answer to that question is simple:protect your investments while exploiting the future - keep developing the way you're accustomed to now, while moving as gradually or deliberately as you want to the new object-oriented technology - with Obsydian.

Obsydian's platform-independent approach allows you to build in the flexibility to evolve to new target deployment platforms as required. It automatically generates native code, ensuring optimum application performance on each platform. With ODBC support, the significant investment you have made in a wide variety of databases is protected.

Obsydian combines data modeling, relational database support and industry-standard code (familiar sights to most traditional development staff ) with advances such as reusable business objects, application partitioning and the graphical Microsoft Windows environment. This synthesis of the traditional and new allows developers to generate applications for either a green screen or a PC, without having to recode - and it enables IT directors to easily integrate two different development mindsets.

"We look at Obsydian as the best solution for creating and maintaining our mission-critical applications on multiple platforms from one design repository."

Neil Cross, Technical Director, Chorus Software Ltd.

"Development time is reduced significantly and the ability to target multiple platforms without additional specialist skills is a real benefit. Using Obsydian has greatly decreased our cost of developing for Windows NT."
