Freedombase Benefits

Agile

Freedombase is agile, enabling rapid development and modification.

Freedombase applies the business rules - what the business needs the computer to do - by itself, generally without the need for custom code. These rules are stored in a simple, easy to read and easy to change format, making development and modification extremely rapid.

Adaptive

Freedombase is adaptive, welcoming change.

Traditional development methods are predictive. They require a significant investment in terms of time, effort and expertise to specify often unpredictable customer requirements, and resist change.

Freedombase comprises intelligent processes which rapidly adapt to change, even to the point of modifying themselves. This makes it easy to incorporate changes to customer requirements at any stage of the development process.

Accessible

Freedombase applications are accessible anywhere, anytime.

Freedombase uses standard Internet browser compatible pages, providing access from any popular Web browser. Pages run in full screen mode or hand held mode, providing access through virtually any Internet or Intranet device wherever a connection is available. Pages may be simple to ensure compatibility across older browsers, or feature rich for maximum visual impact.

People-oriented

With Freedombase, the software process is accepted, not imposed.

Freedombase recognises that people are the most important factor in software development. They are not predictable, replaceable components of the process. They are variable and have unique success and failure modes.

Freedombase makes it easy and natural to engage software users in the development process. This involvement ensures their commitment to and acceptance of the eventual product.

Prototyping

Freedombase rapidly creates usable prototype systems.

It is often difficult for customers to specify their software requirements at the beginning of the development process. They better understand which features are valuable to them and which are not when they use an early version or 'prototype'. Freedombase prototype software can be implemented, evaluated and adapted in response to changes in customer needs.

Freedombase encourages customers to learn about their needs as their system is being built. This ensures that the eventual product effectively captures their requirements and that changes are incorporated quickly, thereby controlling risk. The design is reworked with each new version, securing customer ownership of their software at every stage of its development.
