Pengower Vs. Traditional Software Development

The Pengower Application Platform is designed to enable the creation of Cloud Hosted n-tier Business Applications composed of data, logic and interface layers, and incorporates web services application programming interfaces and security management, whether you are a beginner or experienced programmer. The Pengower technology is a solution for developing dynamically generated Cloud Hosted n-tier Business Applications, without the need for developers to write code and which are automatically deployed and accessible via the Internet. The Platform caters for developers at all levels.

Using the Pengower development technology, the cost and time required to build, and begin to use, real Business Applications is negligible. For example, a person with no previous software development experience can now produce a Business Application that would have previously taken 1000s of hours of expert programming to create, in a few hours or days. Sophisticated developers can eliminate the standard development tasks which comprise of 90% of most business applications, enabling time to concentrate on any complex areas that will make a huge difference to your customer.

The Platform as a Service solution, together with all the web-native Business Applications it creates, have been developed within the Microsoft .Net framework, and are designed to work with any of the leading database products.

Applications become accessible over the internet the instant they are created. Thus, an Application Developer can create an Application in close cooperation with target users, who may be anywhere in the world, and get instant real time feedback, generating astonishing gains in acceptability and usability.

Our Platform as a Service offering is designed to support the delivery of Cloud Based Business Applications to organisations of all sizes, and Server response times average at less than 250 ms, bringing the Platform performance well within the performance target requirements of most business system specifications.

The Pengower Platform also includes a Web Services Application Programming Interface (API), which enables Customers to define and execute method calls and parameters over the Internet in order to execute services running on the Pengower Platform. These method calls can be made on methods already included in the Client Meta Application, and in addition new methods can be defined outside the Pengower platform.

The Pengower Web Services API utilizes SOAP - which is a text based (XML) standard for integrating Applications over the Internet.
