An application with a high quality user interface and user experience (UI/UX) results in more rapid adoption and more productive users, leading to lower support costs, a reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and increased Return on Investment (ROI). The Nexacro Platform is a solution custom-tailored for business users, with all the features, functionality, and design elements required to support business requirements. The Nexacro Platform will empower you to create a high quality UI/UX, so that you can improve productivity and reduce repetitive data entry tasks in your business.
The Evolution of UI/UX for Business
The continued evolution of internet technology is now enabling connectivity for almost any physical object through the “Internet of Things.” As the scope of internet usage increases, web applications have also evolved to provide richer user experiences for corporate and individual users.
Prior technology generations included client-server (C/S) environments which provided acceptable performance, but included significant challenges associated with installation, distribution, and maintenance. Eventually, the World Wide Web fixed many of these issues, but slow data transfer speeds and limited UI functionality troubled users and developers. Several companies developed platforms to support the development of “Rich Internet Applications” to address these concerns while the HTML standard grew to enable more user interface technology over time.
Over time, the importance of usability has led application developers to focus not only on the user interface of an application but also on the full user experience with it. Those applications that deliver the best experiences to their users enjoy more rapid adoption and, since a good experience is an easy-to-use experience, these application lead to fewer support calls.
Recently enterprises have shown increasing interest in the "business view" where UI/UX is optimized for the business environment. Against this backdrop, we seek to improve the “Business User Experience,” including helping users make quick decisions and promoting productivity through an intuitive work environment, thereby creating business value.
BUX: Business User eXperience
Nexacro enables a great business-user experience by integrating three critical elements.
A unified platform – One set of source code easily supporting different screen sizes, creating optimized results, across a wide variety of operating systems, browsers and devices, including tablets, phones and desktops.
A unified development process - Nexacro Studio improves productivity by integrating all processes from development to testing and distribution while enabling simpler in-house development as well as advanced UI construction
A data-centric unified data framework - capable of supporting structured and unstructured data as well as data from online transaction processing, online analysis processing, and big-data visualization applications.
Nexacro Platform
Nexacro Platform uses a JavaScript-based framework to accommodate enterprise demands. Applications developed using Nexacro Platform, with its write-once-deploy-many capability, support functionality on many different operating systems, browsers, and devices without requiring additional development.
Nexacro Studio, bundled with Nexacro Platform, is the WYSIWYG development environment that enables creation of mobile and web applications. Nexacro Studio offers developers a variety of technical capabilities including drag-and-drop editing of user interface components, an easy-to-use data binding capability, “Adaptive Visual Editor” - a feature that greatly simplifies support of varying device screen sizes and orientations, as well as a collection of interesting design effects, all of which collectively maximize development productivity.
The platform supports HTML5 and hybrid architectures using the same development process and setup files. HTML5 applications can be freely deployed without any special installation. Applications deployed with the in the hybrid architectures attain higher performance and reliability by leveraging an installed virtual engine optimized for each supported operating system.
Key Features
Feature | Description |
|---|---|
Powerful IDE | Similar to existing development tools, Nexacro Studio, Nexacro Platform’s development environment, provides a variety of convenient development features. With its intelligent editor and WYSIWYG screen design, Nexacro Studio supports numerous convenient features for developers. |
Support for standards | The Nexacro Platform uses widely adopted standards such as JavaScript, CSS, and XML. By using familiar technologies, developers don't need to learn new languages and can become productive in the new development environment quickly. |
Integrated device event processing | By standardizing mouse, touch and other event processing, the same, single set of code can handle events on a variety of devices, reducing the cost of supporting multiple devices running multiple operating systems. |
Quick data processing | Nexacro Platform enables responsive applications using optimized data communications and supporting asynchronous communications, which allows an optimal environment for each task. |
Rich Component Library | Nexacro provides a variety of components for enterprise applications, reducing application development time. In particular, Grid, the most frequently used tool, provides strong support for externally-supplied data. With Nexacro Studio, you can create new events through drag-and-drop while a few simple clicks enable data binding for each component. |
Hybrid Architecture | Although the performance of web applications is gradually improving, they still cannot always meet the performance requirements of the most intensive applications. Runtime provides a superior alternative. |
Visual Effects | Its many styles and themes make it easy to create a variety of visual effects with Nexacro Studio. |
