Bowstreet™ Factory 5 is the market's most advanced framework for rapidly automating the creation and maintenance of flexible J2EE web applications. Factory 5 changes the economics of software creation with easy to use, graphical tools that leverage Bowstreet's patent-pending automation technology. With Factory 5, the complexity of J2EE development is greatly reduced.

Bowstreet's patented automation and profiling technology enables the rapid creation of applications that are:

• Role-driven - Bowstreet Factory-powered applications can automatically adapt their structure, presentation, and flow to match the privileges of the users accessing the applications. Since any aspect of a Bowstreet application is configurable (parameterized) by default, developers can effortlessly create role-driven applications without having to write conditional logic or copy & paste code to create multiple application variations. The result is dramatically reduced maintenance costs, since each customized version of the application can be generated from one code base.
• Business user configurable - Non-technical users can leverage browser-based wizards to tailor their Bowstreet applications - without requiring developer intervention. As such, companies can dynamically respond to changing requirements and processes in real time, as the business requires.
• Context-driven - Bowstreet applications can also adapt to contextual events, such as alerts or even time of day. Context-driven applications increase user productivity and enhance decision-making by delivering the appropriate information, process, or navigation according to the situation.
• Easily maintainable - Applications built using Bowstreet Factory technology are extremely flexible and can be quickly changed - both during development and at runtime. As a result, Bowstreet customers spend much less time on maintenance and much more time developing new functionality.

Standards-compliant and platform-independent - Bowstreet applications adhere to open standards, including J2EE, JSP, XML, W3C Schemas, Java, and JSR-168. As such, these applications can run on any standard J2EE application server and can be deployed in any JSR-168 compliant portal. In addition, Bowstreet Factory-powered applications are compatible with a wide variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, Solaris, AIS, and OS/400.

Interoperable and extensible - Applications built with Bowstreet Factory technology can easily incorporate data from multiple, disparate systems by leveraging Bowstreet's out-of-the-box integrations, which include SAP, Siebel, PeopleSoft, Domino, databases, web services, etc. In addition, the extensible nature of Bowstreet Factory technology enables customers to integrate to any application with an XML or Java API.
