eTools are the keys that unlock your control of the eCity enterprise control suite of products. The eTools workbench allows you to quickly deploy Slingshot's eCity modules and reduce ongoing system maintenance costs. eTools can also be used in a non-eCity environment to extend your existing applications by quickly creating and deploying entire web applications and add-on modules.
We call this capability our “Package Plus” offering. Slingshot’s enterprise control suite is neither a package solution nor an “out of the box” product. It does however present you with the best of both!
We used eTools to develop the entire eCity enterprise control suite of products. eTools provides the workbench you need to accelerate web development and reduce ongoing system maintenance costs. The secret to eTools is that it unlocks the following web development concepts to less technical people:
- Object Oriented Programming (OOP)
- Relational Databases
- System Logic
- User Interface
Applications created with eTools are defined as a hierarchy of web pages. You simply define the information which must be maintained on each page along with edits, business rules and access rights based on the end-user's user role. Applications are then automatically generated based on the role definitions.
eTools allows you to:
- Make changes to the system without programming
- Shorten application development time
- Reduce implementation time (and risk)
- Reduce initial and ongoing cost of ownership
- Quickly change span of control, multi currency, multi language and automated alert settings
- Preserve your system changes during base system upgrades using Slingshot’s Upgrade Assist technology.
- Add and change system logic and validation rules
- Quickly create forms for wireless Pocket PC devices
- Route notifications and approval tasks automatically with built in email integration & workflows
