The ProSys Group Announces Immediate Availability of ProSys-FirstWave; Native Abstracts & Class Libraries Take Full Advantage of Obsydian 2.0.

Inc., a Synon Independent Software Vendor (ISV), announces ProSys-FirstWave, a group of native Obsydian Abstracts and Application class libraries that take full advantage of Synon Corp.'s Obsydian 2.0 application development environment.

The ProSys-FirstWave class libraries facilitate developers' use of Obsydian by providing business object solutions and standards used in the development of application systems.

ProSys-FirstWave Abstracts

The ProSys-FirstWave Abstract Version 1.0 is a group of business system patterns that bring additional standards, common entity specifications, specific behaviors, and application frameworks to the Obsydian developer. These common patterns found in business applications are defined to provide for maximum reuse in application environments. These business system patterns are partitioned into the following areas:

--Organization objects are used to define the structure of an organization. The many levels of an organization are defined, such as companies, branches, and division.

--Process objects are used to define the processes of a business. Processes can range from a Sales Order business object to an Accounts Payable framework.

--Resource objects define the resources of a business, like customers, vendors, and products.

--Information objects define entities that provide information to application areas. These include State and Country entities, along with many others.

--Special Name Fields provide field specific functionality.

--Specialized Function Objects provide specific functions common to all the above areas.

The ProSys-FirstWave Abstract Version 1.0 is available with the release of Obsydian 2.0 Version 2.0. Introductory pricing offers are available.
