About Omnis Studio
Omnis Studio is a high-performance visual RAD tool that provides a component-based environment for building
enterprise, web, and mobile applications - all from one code base. Omnis Studio's Web and Mobile Client plug-in
technology allows server-based applications to be accessed over the Internet using a web browser or many types
of mobile devices, providing fast, secure, and scalable solutions with minimal development time. With complete
scalability from individual to enterprise level solutions, Omnis applications can be developed on any one supported
platform and deployed on any other platform without modification. Supported platforms include Windows, Mac OS
X, and Linux, all with full Unicode compatibility for your data and application interface. Omnis directly supports
traditional SQL databases such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Sybase, and DB2, as well as TigerLogic's
advanced multidimensional database, D3 via the mvDesigner product. Most other databases may be accessed via
JDBC or ODBC. Omnis Studio dramatically cuts application development time compared to 3GL environments
(C++, Java), while allowing the developer to use objects developed in 3GL environments as components in Omnis
applications.
