Industry experts recognize that the only effective way to solve the applications backlog is to approach application development at a higher design-oriented level. This is exactly how Synon's AS/400 application development tools work.
System requirements are declared at a high conceptual level, using PC-based planning and analysis tools. This application information flows directly into data models built to organize the company's vital information, while action diagrams describe the company's vital processes in terms of pre-built, pre-tested application functions. The declared definitions are stored in a central model or repository from which the applications themselves, along with full documentation, are generated automatically.
Synon's model driven approach to development avoids 3GL programming, thus enabling considerable productivity gains during the application development life cycle.
In today's dynamic business environment, change is the rule, not the exception. Applications must respond to change in order to stand the test of time.
Synon-developed applications lend themselves to very rapid maintenance. When it comes time to maintain the application, the stored definitions are available in the Synon model for modification using the same methods. A new version can be generated as quickly and cleanly as the original.
Professionals around the world choose Synon products for their development projects. Commercially available Synon applications are in existence for industries such as:
