WebFOCUS App StudioA Powerful Development Environment for Business Intelligence (BI) Apps

Business intelligence (BI) needs continue to evolve, as organizations seek to make more information from more sources available to more people inside and outside the enterprise. Developers need powerful, yet flexible tools in order to satisfy the increasingly sophisticated BI content demands posed by a growing number of employees, customers, suppliers, partners, and other stakeholders.

WebFOCUS App Studio is the most robust BI application development platform on the market today. It eliminates the complex multi-tool paradigm that exists with most other BI development solutions, providing a single, fully-integrated environment for rapidly designing and creating any type of BI content, including:

■■ Charts and visualizations

■■ Dashboards that draw data from one source, or multiple disparate systems

■■ Documents for print, including Adobe PDF, interactive PDF, Microsoft PowerPoint, and more

■■ InfoApps, business intelligence applications that are form-driven and extremely simple to use, providing the most effective way to make information accessible to all stakeholders, as well as for custom and SaaS implementations

■■ Mobile BI applications that run on any device and on any platform

■■ Responsive designs that conform to the device form factor, maximizing the user experience

■■ Metadata creation and modeling, such as multifact star schemas, joins, and business views

Building on the industry-familiar Microsoft Office Ribbon Interface, WebFOCUS App Studio offers a simplified user experience and workflow, empowering developers to create application content immediately, without a costly and time-consuming learning curve. Additionally, it dramatically increases development efficiency by eliminating the need for developers to utilize multiple tools to piece together a BI application.

WebFOCUS App Studio provides:

■■ Rapid deployment – Installation and set up is fast and simple

■■ Ease of use – A familiar ribbon interface, which works on all platforms and can be customized to individual preferences, allows users to get up to speed quickly

■■ Maximum flexibility – Build and deploy ad hoc or instant queries that go beyond the prescriptions of any particular application. Developers can also add dimensions to data structures “on the fly”, without affecting other queries since the underlying data source is not changed

■■ Support for complex requests – Unlike other BI development environments, which require the use of complex code to handle anything more than the most simple of requests, App Studio allows users to create any request, no matter how sophisticated, via the same intuitive interface

Key Features

WebFOCUS App Studio is a unified development environment that consists of a set of graph-ical development and code generation facilities which can be utilized to organize and create WebFOCUS BI content. Developers can simply and easily build BI content and organize applications through an intuitive workflow design.

This new development workflow allows developers to create BI content for any type information stakeholder, including internal and external users, partners and suppliers, and mobile users. For example, using responsive web design, there is no need to create separate “mobile ready” applications and other versions for desktop users, thus reducing development time and costs, as well as enhancing the user experience.

Side-by-side development increases efficiency by enabling developers towork on multiple content items simultaneously.

Other features include:

■■ A modern, Microsoft Office-like ribbon interface for creating reports, dashboards, InfoApps, and other types of BI applications and content

■■ A library of more than 120 HTML5 chart types to meet the needs of every information consumer

■■ The ability to build dashboards that can be viewed online or offline in disconnected mode, with full interactivity and analytical capabilities

■■ A single, unified canvas for all application component development

■■ Responsive web design capabilities to allow all content to render correctly regardless of the device form factor

■■ Full customizability to address the unique needs and preferences of each developer

■■ Form-based development for creating robust InfoApps

■■ Improved multi-tasking for efficiently orchestrating application workflows

■■ Metadata design and development with full visual modeling of schemas

■■ Robust user administration and security

■■ The ability to test application components against the Reporting Server before the entire application is complete

■■ Closed-looped “update” capabilities

An intuitive, unified development environment enables fast, easy organization and creation of BI content.
