New in version 4.0
Awaresoft is proud to introduce Aware IM 4.0, the latest version of its unique web application design and management software. The new version is a major step forward that adds a different dimension to the user interface capabilities of Aware IM. Web applications built with Aware IM now have new modern and stylish look and feel driven entirely by the AJAX technology. This means no screen redraws, fast and smooth operations, dynamic recalculations "on the fly". There are also many significant improvements to the screen layouts, forms and search results screens.
The result is rich and fast web applications without programming!
Here is what Pete Bradstreet, the V.P. of Creative Interface (www.iportcentral.com) said about version 4.0:
"The application design flexibility offered by the new version has answered a
need that we have been stressing for some time and I am very happy with the
direction that the AwareIM team are taking with the product. If I could name
one area where I have hoped for improvements with AwareIM it would be the
responsiveness of the application. With the total conversion to an Ajax
powered front end, I anticipate much faster load and reaction times and this
is much appreciated.
In particular, the new editable queries will surely become a true workhorse
for us and will allow us to very rapidly, deliver filtered, sorted and
grouped information that can be easily and rapidly modified by users.
Kudos to the AwareIM team for this awesome release!"
