Enterprises today must deal with the increasing complexity of application portfolios and usage types. While replacing existing systems is certainly a possibility, the reality is that this is impractical and ends up pushing off business innovation.
Application platforms that encode business functionality into metadata offer a number of advantages to enterprises faced with the burden of higher IT costs. IT managers can move away from the technology limitations of code, make their applications more business-optimized, re-use existing IT assets and make it easier to adapt their applications for future requirements.
Metadata-based application platforms can help solve these typical challenges:How do I develop more cost-effective IT operations? How do I ensure my application meets business demand effectively? How can I optimize my development team’s productivity? How do I preserve my core investments & ensure future functionality? How do I maximize security for my new web applications? | ![]() |
Metadata is data about other data.
A ‘metadata engine’ is a ready-made business application engine containing pre-written technical and administrative functions and services. It enables you to bypass the intensive technical code-writing stage of application development and move quickly and efficiently to deployment.
