San Francisco-based Blyth Software Inc has Omnis Seven, its new offering in what it describes as the Integrated Development Environment market. Integrated Development Environments are, says Blyth, cohesive sets of desktop software tools that enable developers to create, store, access, manipulate, and present diverse data types from a variety of sources through a uniform programming architecture. Blyth is positioning Omnis Seven for developers with local and local network-based data management requirements, and Omnis Seven Plus for developers with co-operative processing data management requiring SQL Connectivity. Blyth offers starter kits for evaluation of the product, development kits with prototype, code and debug tools and deployment kits for implementation and maintenance of the application. The seven fundamental building blocks of Omnis technology are graphical user interface Builder, proprietary language, Data Manager, Report Writer, Extensions, SQL Connects, and Cross-Platform capabilities. Written in C++, Omnis Seven has a new debugger and an ad hoc report writer. It is downward compatible with Omnis 5. No prices.
