flexViews

Due to flexViews unique environment setup flexViews software applications are built from within flexViews itself. This coupled with the fact flexViews is available from a web-server and application configurations are stored within the application database and not compiled as "The application" means that we can make changes to the application live. Therefore, we do not need to spend time after each change compiling and redistributing then reinstalling the application.

These methods allow us to cut application build time drastically and concentrate on the important things many of our competitors do not; planning, testing, training and supporting!

flexViews changes the way that software applications traditionally connect with each other. flexViews can receive and cleanse data from one or many data sources simultaneously before saving the data to the primary flexViews data set. At the same time flexViews will preserve data work flow in the primary flexViews application.

At present we have a number of API's built into flexViews including; Paypal, Ebay, Facebook and FedEx.

flexViews can also make data available to other applications via a host of built in methods including; export to Excel, push to another database directly, communicate with an external API, serve an XML page to name but a few.

At present we deploy flexViews built applications via webservers that can be hosted locally on company intranets or via the internet and one of our managed solutions. We are currently developing an embedded version that we will deploy via a small hardware device (IOT).

Key benefits of using a cloud hosted web based platform include the dependability, accessibility and no requirement to install any software. This cloud hosted option also allows any web enabled device running a supported web browser to access applications 24/7.

At Cloud Software Systems we believe that Microsoft technologies are at the forefront of the market and have a constantly evolving and dedicated developer channel that constantly pushes technology forward. We have a similar ethos towards technology and so the partnership works well.

Our primary delivery platform for our flexViews developed applications is Microsoft's Azure cloud server network. We believe that it is robust, dependable, secure and one of the most scalable solutions currently available. All of our hosted options and packages include the relevant Microsoft licences to help simplify billing and delivery.

Once we have worked with you and delivered your flexViews based application you may see areas where this could be integrated with your other business processes or where you may want additional modules or functionality added. One of flexViews unique features is the way we manage and deploy these future modifications and additions.

The unique flexViews environment allows our designers the flexibility to make changes and additions to your application while it is in use without having to take the application down for any period of time. This ensures the continuity of your business, something traditional software design processes cannot provide.

The entire flexViews platform has been built from the ground up with security in mind. We use the Oauth encryption framework backed by a secure SSL connection and well maintained, pathed servers.

Previously we had a separate reporting engine named flexReports that handled all our reporting and dashboard solutions. This reporting engine has now been integrated into flexViews and therefore all our flexViews customers can make use of these reporting solutions in their applications without the need for the expense of additional licences, user accounts and logins.

Our charts are all interactive with animated movement and click-able legends to show or hide lines or segments of data. In addition to this our charts all feature an export button that will allow you to save a full sized version of the chart or graph in pdf, jpg, png or full svg vector formats.

The flexViews browser based user interface has been written in W3C compliant HTML5 and CSS3 and utilises a custom framework specifically developed to render and behave across multiple devices and platforms.

Although we recommend Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Internet Explorer for the best viewing experience we have tested and regularly run flexViews on a number of other browsers and devices, including; Google Chrome on Windows 8, Iceweasel on the Raspberry Pi, Safari on Apple products including iPhone, iPad and Mac Air to name but a few.
