Catalyticsoft are proud to announce the launch of the first member of their CAT - Catalytic Automation Technology- suite - CAT Accelerator.
 
CAT Accelerator is a rapid prototyping and development acceleration technology. It produces robust, n-tier applications with almost no coding. Why build your own application framework when CAT Accelerator provides you with a best practice dynamic framework out of the box and provides you with full commented source code for the created application. CAT Accelerator can produce hundreds of thousands of lines of code in minutes, jump starting your development effort and letting you cycle from concept to fully data driven prototype in minutes. CAT Accelerator is tightly integrated with Visual Studio and will also work with Microsoft's free Visual Web Developer Express Edition. It includes forms based security and role management, a dynamic menu builder, both from within Visual Studio and from the created application. Simply point it at a Microsoft SQL database and you will have a data driven web application in no time.
 
The CAT Accelerators allows you to configure look and feel and much of the applications functionality from the database and then modify it further from the created application. For example you can choose a horizontal or vertical menu, hide or show pages or fields at a page level or even hide or show pages based on roles. This functionality is available while create the application in visual studio using CAT and in the created application through its Administrative functions.
 
CAT Accelerator works well with rapid iterative style of development - in fact you can move from concept to application in a fraction of the time that would be required using more traditional techniques - or indeed Visual Studio on its own. It allows you to brainstorm an initial concept - create a first cut database - and have a functional data driven application up on minutes. This lets you interact with real data and functional screens with role based security and a host of features. You can then quickly extend and tailor the application to suite your requires. This allow you to quickly test your ideas without waiting the weeks or months that would otherwise be required.
 
CAT Accelerator lets you take existing corporate databases and expose them through a secure, best practice application on the intranet or internet - you can do all this with minimal knowledge of coding. If you require greater complexity in the final application than you could achieve with CAT Accelerator then the produced code can be quickly be leveraged by your internal or external development team to produce the final application.
 
Outsourcing - quick question - how many Outsourced developers doe it take to write 100,000 lines of code in 3 minutes? Our clients are regularly achieving this when building their applications and indeed we do so every time we demonstrate the product. That is why we say - Don't Outsource - Automate. If you are already in an Outsourced environment then you can use CAT Accelerator to help you quickly develop prototypes to accelerate the outsourced groups ability to come to terms with your application requirements.
 
CAT Accelerator has way too many features to be covered in this introductory section. To help you come to terms with the power of CAT Accelerator we have included a detailed Walk Through to let your familiarize yourself with some of the features of the product and we have a section in the web site titled Feature List which will give you a snap shot of some of the features. While CAT Acclerator's features are extensive the learning curve is relatively low and you can be up and running in minutes.
 
We are celebrating the launch of CAT Accelerator with a special introductory price of only US$99.00 - that means that for only US$99.00 you will be able to build enterprise level applications in minutes using Microsoft's free Visual Web Develop Express Edition and Microsoft's free SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
