Why Businesses Benefit from Visual DataFlex?

Visual DataFlex is for building database application software for business. It is a combination of software tools, a design methodology, application components, a transaction optimized embedded DBMS and scaleable client/server options built around an object-oriented, 4th generation language - DataFlex. Professional developers worldwide use Visual DataFlex to create scalable, reliable, high-performance Windows and Web database applications.

Visual DataFlex's tiered development system is designed to accommodate the latest trends in distributed, rule-based, client/server database application architecture. The combination of the Visual DataFlex methods and the Studio provides an easy-to-master environment for business process-based application design. Visual DataFlex enables you to quickly take multiple applications to deployment, through well-controlled and structured development processes.

Great Technology is Good for Business
Visual DataFlex's evolved environment methods and tools translate to tangible business benefits:

	Shorter application development cycles mean lower costs
	A structured development environment means more standardization in development, fewer errors, easier maintenance and change implementation, more efficiency for teams collaborating on larger projects and more consistency in the application results presented to end users.
	Code generation means better results, faster.
	Minimal overheads to change/upgrade database backends.
	Easy extension of application assets to new platforms and new user interfaces.

Great Development Tools Create Great Applications
One of the key differences between Visual DataFlex and other Windows development environments is in the strength and capability of the Windows application interfaces presented to users that enter and update data - the core operations of all database applications. Visual DataFlex Windows applications provide users with:

	A Multiple Document Interface (MDI) presentation of views.
	Data-aware pull-down menus, button-bar and keyboard application and data navigation.
	Pop-up context menus.
	Data Dictionary based Status Help, selection lists, validation tables, confirmations and warnings on all data operations.

These fully customizable application components are automatically generated by the visual design tools in Visual DataFlex Studio saving countless project hours and rendering better, more consistent results at the same time.
