Build and Deploy Flexible, Innovative On-Demand Enterprise Applications

LongJump, as an on-demand SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) application platform, provides flexibility, security, stability, and a rich feature set that is ideally suited for applications in the web-based world. The inception of LongJump's design was to enable the creation of applications that would run on the web and leverage a relational database. Since its development, the platform has been used to drive real business activities in organizations from the enterprise to those in SME levels.

The LongJump Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution is an ideal complement to:

• Third-party technology stacks looking to increase on-demand application adoption.
• Providing a powerful, affordable pathway for on-premise and non-web application developers to leverage their expertise to the world of customizable webware.
• Disparate data systems where businesses need to aggregate data into a centralized, mashed up system of record.

PaaS Done Right

Rather than spending time and resources on building out a new infrastructure or adapting an old one to solve new operation problems, PaaS enables the IT team to focus on information and innovation, not infrastructure. With the growing variety of PaaS solutions emerging in today's market, there are many options for businesses to execute projects to meet their goals. The key is: which PaaS solutions offer the best headstart to creating applications?

With LongJump, IT developers have an enterprise-ready stack and a pre-built application framework that eliminates:

• Provisioning, deploying, and managing servers and equipment for always-on availability and security
• Building and administering relational databases
• Adding layers of user administration and permissions management
• Designing user interfaces and productivity enhancements
• Creating or linking to reporting tools

Zero Infrastructure

Utilizing best-of-breed IT building blocks, LongJump provides a complete ready-to-go stack that is always available. From our hosted systems that meet SAS 70 Type II compliance to an industry-standard, Java-based architecture, LongJump provides a comprehensive, robust platform geared to support a variety of application needs.

In addition, LongJump's multitenant data model and architecture provides a highly configurable experience to every member of your team while also leveraging the economies of scale of a shared platform.

• Leveraged On-Demand Application Platform Architecture - With constant changes in information architectures and an ever-reducing IT staff, it is both economical and effective to move to a managed application platform. That way, your team can focus on solving the business problems rather than the configuration, installation, and maintenance of proprietary systems.
• Time-to-Value Investment - LongJump enables you to start developing applications very quickly and see results fast. Because of the nature of the on-demand platform, you literally log in and begin creating or modifying applications within the browser interface. If you know your data and how you want to map out processes, a completely functional application can be built and deployed to your team in minutes.
• Minimal Management - With LongJump there are no servers to maintain, no software patches to apply, and no optimization to worry about. We provide this as part of the leveraged platform by monitoring systems and deploying new components as necessary. This is transparent to you and your users.
• Enterprise-Grade Security and Administration - At the same time, you have complete control over the applications and data your users see. You can control who can view, edit, create, or delete information using a comprehensive team and role-based hierarchy. These roles can also be used to define set views, reports, documents and dashboards as well. In addition, we provide data sharing for quickly allowing teams to work with other teams' information.

Rapid Development and Deployment

Before writing a single line of code, developers can create fully functional applications within the LongJump platform. These are business applications with sophisticated relational data structures, a complete user interface, fully actionable data, and workflows. The browser-based LongJump interface also provides a comprehensive headstart for developers to extend functionality, customize the UI, and create unique programmatic operations all within the platform.

• Drag-and-Drop Data Modeling - Using LongJump's Form Layout tool, complete object and attribute data modeling happens in a convenient drag-and-drop canvas. This enables complete ability to link data objects as well as define field attributes. There are no database tables to define and all the metadata information is transparent and built automatically. In addition, common business attributes for fields like email and web addresses, formula functions, and dynamic URLs are all supported.

• Process and Policy Creation - It seems a simple concept, but it is rare that a platform enables you to find the information you need and to take action on it. LongJump calls this Actionable Data and it is fundamental within the platform. Using the Data Policy and Workflow engine, even non-coders can using a menu-driven interface to define or schedule data conditions that trigger everything from a templated email, a change in data, an internal script or a dynamic SOAP message. This allows the data in the application to drive processes and strengthens best practices around all operational and transactional information.
• Built-In User Interface - The LongJump platform provides a complete web-based data and UI framework that includes reporting capabilities, personalization of information and presentation, email, calendaring, and task management. These features allow developers to focus on core application issues such as data and process rather than re-inventing the wheel or integrating code from other disparate systems.
• Extensible Everything - Once an application is built using only browser-based features, developers on LongJump can fully extend the application for enterprise connectivity, or unique experiences or custom processes. LongJump provides authenticated REST-based web services API for connection to and from other web service-enabled systems. Internally, developers can use Java-based language programming to write scripts, define customer actions and components, and create custom UI pages – all from a growing library of functions.

Flexible, Innovative Applications

When building applications for business use, one thing is constant: change. Business needs and operations are constantly being added and compressed, and the applications that drive them need to adapt as well. Otherwise, the applications become shelfware that slowly becomes antique to the users who needed them, and any investments made lose value. The LongJump platform offers flexibility at the user level to ensure that simple configurations can be done quickly and easily. In addition, with a live, on-demand platform, changes can be added, tested, and deployed quickly and easily to keep up with business conditions.

In addition, the web is inherently a simple interface so information that comes in and out is often clear and transactional. This makes for better usability, thus increasing adoption by users.

• Adaptable with Minimal Effort - Applications on LongJump can be adapted quickly (including by some level by users themselves). For example, data policies and workflow are user-accessible enough that simple changes can be made to an application without coding. Also, because constructs in LongJump are all object-based, functions and actions defined can often be applied to other parts of the application meaning more reusable code.
• Personalizable Data and Views - LongJump applications enable each user to see the data they need, whether as a monitor to analyze how their processes are working or as an actionable driver to indicate what needs to be done. This personalization of data leads each user to gain a meaningful connection to the information within the application – all with minimal effort by the application developer.
• Interconnected Data - When data objects are defined within LongJump, they are immediately usable and relatable within all applications within that account. This helps to centralize information into single, consistent, multi-use records for a complete 360-degree view of that single record. For example, if the application is used to track contract details, the Contract object can be related to customer records, vendor records, project records, etc. It's all the same data, but its role in the enterprise is fully mapped with the operations.
