Hi all,
right now, both Ontimize components and Ontimize applications can be embeded in Applets, which can also be included in other places, such as, web pages, QuickTime movies, Windows media player applets, Flash movies, browser games, mobile devices, and so on.
Some of the most important issues that this new Ontimize feature provide are:
- On one hand, simple web pages can be populated with powerful Java-written programs, much in the same way as an image is included in a page. Ontimize products embedded in applets provide, among other things, web applications with interactive features which cannot be provided by HTML, being executed by the browser’s Java Virtual Machine (JVM) running under many platforms, including Windows, UNIX, Mac OS, Linux and Solaris. This enables single web pages, and those other devices, to take full advantage of the latest capabilites and features of the Java platform and be assured that they will run reliably and consistently.
- On the other hand, powerful, interactive and virtual widgets can be created to get services by the inclusion of this applets with Ontimize. Its purpose is to provide relevant information to the user in a non-intrusive manner and using few resources, being the web environment the best suited place to locate it without requiring explicit interaction from the user to install additional resources in order to run them. So, Widgets, Gadgets, Blidgets, mobile widgets, desktop widgets, web widgets, etc. are stand-alone, task-oriented applications which can be composed of several related interactions on its own being also available for TV’s. or social networks in order to enable the user to view on demand, capsuled information from predetermined data sources.

Hi everybody,
a new module to access the FileNet Document Management System has been developed in Ontimize. Using this new Ontimize module, users can gain access to the IBM powerful document management system, called FileNet, and its FileNet P8 platform taking the advantages of the Ontimize applications interface, in order to create an easy-to-use application with process capabilities to automate and drive user content-related tasks and activities over the IBM FileNet Solution.
This solution allows Ontimize application users to manage all their documents over FileNet in the same way as when they use the alternative Ontimize solution to manage documents, that is, the Ontimize Document Management system.
This new Ontimize module for IBM FileNet product implements a lot of FileNet functionalities with the advantage of the Ontimize applications user interface and Ontimize powerful components and products. Some of this module’s features are:
- A Grid component that allows users to access FileNet documents stored in a given folder. This component allows users to perform the next actions over the documents: download, check in, check out, delete, cancel check out and get document URI token. The Grid component has all the Ontimize table advantages: quick filter text field, exporting data to different formats, printing, paging, and so on …
- A Tree folder tool to navigate through the FileNet folder easily. This component can be indexed to a Grid in order to view the documents inside the selected folders.
- The users can add new documents to a FileNet folder using a document creation form or by directly dragging the documents onto the Grid component
- The FileNet module allows users to perform advanced document searches on FileNet server as well. Users can store and recover searches and send selected files attached on an email.

Hi all,
Ontimize has introduced one-click window intended to simplify application translations for multilanguage environments.
If you’ve developed global software, you know that one of the great commandments is to be able to have several language versions of your product. Commandment which is easy to get using this new database bundle.
This new Ontimize product:
- helps you to maintain a single source code base for all these language versions of your products
- allows you to add or change the translation text in your applications dynamically and without restarting the client or making a new deploy process.
- facilitates translations because all localizable resources are identified and isolated for each application window.
These Ontimize translation tools will make your applications multilingual with a single click, and will definitely make localizing your product easier.
As usual, Ontimize users and developers can try it from the Ontimize Quickstart demo placed here .
Cheers,
Tamara.
Hi readers,

This tool is a vertical solution targeted at local administrations and municipalities, which allows governments to replace the complicated and slow paperwork between the administration and their citizens with quick and easy procedures. These procedures can be made by both government employees using the Cividas application and citizens using the e-platform.
As seen in the following press clippings, during the last years more and more public administrations trust in this Ontimize-based solution to manage their government processes.
450 civil servants in 17 local administrations and municipalities trust in this open source solution developed by Imatia and based on Ontimize to make their paperwork easier. This paperwork ranges from such things as permits and licenses, building permissions, tax management, bill payments, etc. It provides services to more than 750.000 citizens.
Over recent years, the Imatia team has successfully used Ontimize to develop and maintain software projects for the management of fully equipped fish laboratories, large fish farms, larval rearing tanks, freshwater and seawater storage silos, recirculation units, seawater filtration and treatment complexes, and so on.
Ontimize solutions currently control and monitor some of the largest and most advanced fish farms worldwide. The success of these Ontimize based applications developed by the Imatia team has prompted an important advance in R&D, which has provided Imatia with the opportunity to participate in one of the most famous and important fish fairs, the World Fishing Exhibition – Aqua Farming 2009.
The Spanish regional government “Xunta de Galicia” supported by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) from the European Union has chosen the Imatia team to collaborate in an innovative project with another three important national companies and two prestigious universities in order to develop a free 3D virtual world where users can tour and discover St. James’ Way as a pilgrim during medieval times.
The Research and Development Ontimize team helps the implementation of an authoring system on a modern 3D graphics engine to allow machinima content creation. This tool can use a number of 3D engines (OGRE, jMonkey ,..) and allows the user to control the entire life-cycle of the build process of scene generation and content with display in real-time.
