The Application Platform as a Service

Businesses face numerous challenges towards managing their data, building accurate analysis, and driving real actionable processes. These businesses traditionally have had to make a choice: create yet another expensive IT infrastructure to support these situational applications or leave the applications up to the individual business unit to find their way with spreadsheets and databases. One is a daunting, long-term approach that can be months in the making. The other is completely chaotic with no management visibility. And either way, the information becomes a silo, hindering all future integration efforts.

The LongJump Platform-as-a-Service enables you to build applications directly on the web – situational applications that are easy-to-create, easy-to-maintain, data-driven, and help consolidate a variety of information and processes to manage specific aspects of a business or organization.

Rather than spending time and resources on building out a new infrastructure or adapting an old one to solve new operation problems, PaaS enables IT to focus on information and innovation, not infrastructure. With the growing variety of PaaS solutions emerging in today's market, there are many options for businesses to execute projects to meet their goals. The key is: which PaaS solutions offer the best head-start to creating applications?

With LongJump, IT developers have an enterprise-ready stack and a pre-built application framework that eliminates:

Provisioning, deploying, and managing servers and equipment for always-on availability and security
Building and administering relational databases
Adding layers of user administration and permissions management
Designing user interfaces and productivity enhancements
Creating or linking to reporting tools

Lower Costs, Faster Productivity

LongJump enables businesses to significantly reduce the cost and speed the results of application development. Whether costs are incurred as a result of acquiring hardware and software, maintaining such infrastructures, as part of the development cycle and head count, or simply with changes that need to made to applications over time, LongJump's PaaS solution eliminates a major cost hurdle for IT projects. LongJump also improves time-to-value on many initiatives, allowing businesses to focus on core issues or ongoing improvement.

Platform Developer Suite

LongJump's PaaS solution is built using a metadata-rich relational model of definable objects that is designed to articulate real business entities (customers, contracts, computers, for example). Each object, which can be easily defined and customized using the web-based visual designer, has key descriptive attributes that form its structure and relationships to other objects. In addition, LongJump provides a complete Developer Suite with web services interfaces via RESTful API or SOAP, and a comprehensive Java-based coding environment for creating complex and custom operations.

LongJump is a true multitenant SaaS architecture ensuring maximum security, data segmentation, and full customization capabilities across tenants. This robust platform has also logged in over 10-million man-hours of service.

Presentation Features

LongJump enables various methods for visualizing or distributing data in a convenient, focused, and dynamic way, so that even those who do not interact with the data directly can still benefit from it. Whether it's the customizable widget-based data portal, the view and reports designer, the print template engine, or other aspects of the presentation UI, LongJump provides immediate visibility into data and operations, in a highly configurable, user-friendly way.

Data Processing Features

Beyond just housing data and making it accessible within business organizations, LongJump takes data a step further by making data actionable. The platform supports actions and workflows focused on driving that data and making it an automated, actionable part of the business process. It also supports built-in emailing, calendar and task management, document controls, and other common business functions that every enterprise application needs.

Administration Features

LongJump was designed with enterprise administrative controls in mind to secure data, improve data quality, and help organizations filter information for their various levels of business users. As such, all data on the LongJump platform, has both ownership and permission attributes. System administrators have full control over a variety of access to each independent object and to system functions. LongJump also makes it incredibly easy for administrators to add, update, or delete large amounts of data within the system.
