WebLoom Technology

Custom Look - Pre-packaged Ease

WebLoom generates thin-client, data-driven Internet/Intranet business applications using Active Server Pages (ASP). Packaged applications based on the powerful WebLoom technology can be quickly customized to match the look of any company's web site providing a seamless and professional appearance.

The Challenge For Packaged Web Applications

Before the Web most packaged computer applications were used by internal company users. As a result most packaged applications were installed with the standard look that the vendor of the application shipped. While this resulted in a wide-variety of unmatched application interfaces, organizations tolerated this approach for internal users.

The Web and its "external" focus has changed the rules for business applications. No longer can organizations tolerate a variety of application interfaces and appearances when the user may be a business partner, a potential employee or a client.

Web-based packaged applications need to adapt their "presentation" layer to Web sites that already exist - or those that already have other packaged applications running. They must adapt quickly, completely and without requiring expensive programming.

This challenge is being met with the WebLoom technology.

WebLoom Applications:

• Are totally thin client applications. They have no need for downloads, plug-ins, applets or controls of any kind. This means they work with any browser on the Web.
• Separate HTML for customization while preserving application logic. This means a WebLoom application looks just like your existing web site.
• Connect via ODBC to numerous databases such as SQL Server, Oracle, Sybase, DB2, Microsoft Access etc. This means a WebLoom application runs on the database of your choice.
• Are full working Active Server Page (ASP) applications that run on Microsoft server platforms. This means a WebLoom application runs on cost-effective servers of your own or on thousands of ISP-hosted servers worldwide.
