ELC Technologies Releases ELC Core Rails Library to Reduce Development Time and Costs for Enterprise Applications
New Customizable Library of Application Building Blocks is the Result of Decades of Man-Hours Developing Leading Edge Solutions for Global Companies
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (April 23, 2008) – ELC Technologies, the largest global Ruby on Rails software development firm, today announced the release of ELC Core, a comprehensive software library and toolset that provides a robust, extensible framework for next-generation Web and enterprise application development. The ELC Core library draws from hundreds of custom software applications created by the ELC Technologies development team for Global 2000 companies. Each of the software building blocks included in the ELC Core library is the result of field-proven software developed using Ruby on Rails, Java, and other leading platforms, and thoroughly tested using ELC’s agile software development practices.
The ELC Core library consists of individual software components that can be assembled to create different types of extensible, next-generation enterprise and social networking applications. These components enable different types of Web and enterprise functions, such as account management and administration, e-commerce, multimedia, messaging, internationalization and localization, Web 2.0 and social networking, and workflow management. By assembling these code elements into a single toolset, ELC is offering customers an off-the-shelf application framework that dramatically reduces development time while creating an extensible application platform that is easy to build on and maintain.
“ELC has put in hundreds of development hours creating world-class web and enterprise applications using Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, AJAX, and other coding techniques,” said Lex Sisney, CEO of ELC Technologies. “What our development experience reveals is that, despite differences in form and function, the core components of these applications are virtually identical. With ELC Core, we have packaged our expertise in a library of off-the-shelf, reusable code building blocks that make it faster and easier to create a foundation for any web or enterprise application. And maintaining and upgrading custom applications based on the ELC Core library is simple compared to maintaining applications built from the ground up.”
The ELC Core library includes software building blocks to create the foundation for virtually any custom application. For example, modules for Account Management, Commerce, and Reporting can be used in different customized combinations for enterprise business, CRM, or sales applications. Web commerce and social networking applications can be powered using ELC Core’s Commerce, Commodity Infrastructure, Messaging, Scalability, Social Media, and Third-Party Service Integration modules. There also are modules for Deployment, Multi-File Uploads, and Workflow Management to facilitate application deployment and management. By mixing and matching different ELC Core modules, it’s easy to create an extensible framework to support virtually any kind of enterprise or web application that is simple to upgrade and maintain.
ELC Technologies is licensing ELC Core as a non-exclusive, perpetual license, including source code and full documentation. The ELC Core software library is included with all ELC development engagements. For more information, visit ELC at www.elctech.com.
