ONTIMIZE WHITEPAPER

The White Paper to help key decision-makers and influencers justify implementing solutions.
The Ontimize White Paper introduce our technology innovations and products, and was written for different types of readers who see the same problems from different perspectives. The paper highlights therefore the Ontimize technical advantages for engineers whilst allowing CIOs obtain important information about the business benefits.

ONTIMIZE QUICKSTART

In order to get going quickly, the Quick Start Demo is meant to cover the basics of developing Ontimize applications.
Ontimize is an object oriented framework for developing both standard and web Java applications. It has many loosely coupled components that can be used more or less independently and also a full list of independent advanced modules to extend its range of application such as:

Using all these components, within a short period of time, a full application can be constructed.

The user/password to log into the Quickstart demo are demo/demouser. Try it out!

Moreover, Ontimize allows you to create applications with different profiles. So, in a rapid but standard way developers can configure the application elements to allow each user group, depending on their profile, to see appropriate menu items, execute selected actions, edit allowed fields, ... To be able to see the results of the profile configuration, try other users with different profiles.

The complete source code for this application is available here

MANUAL

This manual allows new Ontimize Users to start to develop applications using Ontimize. The tutorial does not attempt to be comprehensive and cover every single feature, or even every commonly used feature (for more information the Ontimize Wiki, the Developer's Manual and the Ontimize Forum should also be examined).

The Manual does introduce many of Ontimize most noteworthy features, and will give you a good idea of the products flavor and style. After reading it, you will be able to develop Ontimize applications, and you will be ready to learn more about the various “Ontimize More” modules such as, the GIS Component, Workflow engine and GUI, Document Management System (DMS), Gantt, Planning, Scripting, Bundles, ... as described in their manuals, javadocs, and other references.

ONTIMIZE PRESENTATION

JAVADOCS

To make the developers work easier, the Ontimize framework and advanced components code is comprehensively commented. Using the documentation generator from Sun Microsystems for generating API documentation in HTML format from Java source code, developers can access the following APIs

ONTIMIZE SDK AND ONTIMIZE ECLIPSE PLUGIN

The Ontimize downloads page, allow users to get important tools for a quick and successful start in Ontimize, such us, the Ontimize SDK (Software Development Kit), which allows users to create applications using the Ontimize framework and also its advanced components,  and the Ontimize Eclipse Plug-in which consists of a graphical computer program that interacts with Eclipse to enable third-party developers to create capabilities to developed an application easily and also to enhance the entire software development life-cycle.

VIDEOS

A great number of Ontimize videos showing some of the functionalities common to all applications based on Ontimize and videos showing the development environment, and some examples of simple tasks.
