WebEdge
Designed to develop desktop applications, WebEdge offers an innovative alternative to
traditional technical frameworks, and a new generation of programming tools to
continuously take into account functional needs and increase productivity.
The WebEdge environment stands out among technical frameworks by allowing functional
managers to play an active part during the whole software development process, and by reducing
the duration and risks of development projects. WebEdge is a “functional framework” that
encourages both development productivity and developers’ reactivity regarding business needs
assessment.
AGILE Software Development
WebEdge was designed to boost the productivity of development teams and better address
business oriented questions: WebEdge takes on most technical difficulties, and guarantees the
participation of functional decision-makers during the software development process.

WebEdge is a computer-aided software engineering tool based on three principles, which allow
development teams to focus on functional issues and remain attentive to business end-users
throughout a project:
Iterative and incremental development
Rapid prototyping and direct switch from the mock-up to the application in production
Technical / functional split
Reduced dependence on .NET/J2EE technical architecture
Rule-driven declarative development
Based on business notions
An Identical Environment for
Developers and End-users
Business end-users and functional developers share
an identical desktop application. This common
environment simplifies their interaction and speeds
up iterative development.

A Service-Oriented Architecture
WebEdge is based on a Service-Oriented Architecture: the components of the application client
consume server services. The multi-layer execution architecture is built on standard .NET or J2EE
frameworks and contributes to the reduction of transformation costs.

Web 2.0 Desktop Application
“Mashup” Web-based portals created with WebEdge group unify functions and data within an
interactive Web 2.0 desktop application. They offer the advantages of a lightweight client while
providing the ergonomics of a heavyweight one. End-users can combine the public and private data
they use every day in one single environment:
Reporting/dashboards designed with internal systems
Application modules
External data sources (Web)
Tabs, thumbnails, drag & drop functions and "widgets" allow end-users to best configure
their environment according to their mission.
The goal is to boost end-users’ productivity
and enhance their experience through a rapid
adoption of the work environment by offering
a unified and consistent representation of
information.
