TenFold(R) Corporation (BULLETIN BOARD: TENF), Salt Lake City, provider of the EnterpriseTenFold(TM) platform for building and implementing enterprise applications, has introduced AnyFile, an EnterpriseTenFold feature that lets TenFold-powered applications operate on operating system files in addition to databases.
"It's really convenient to access files directly from a TenFold-powered application," said Joe Quinn, TenFold's Senior vice president of product marketing. "We build applications that share thousands of Microsoft(R) Office, Adobe(R) PDF, and other documents. Such files add tremendous value to any TenFold-powered application by providing background and context. AnyFile lets us build applications that support any file without the hassle of opening Windows Explorer and navigating a network each time to find a specific file. One mouse click and EnterpriseTenFold provides the file we want."
EnterpriseTenFold provides an AnyFile feature that lets you access files that you store on network-available computer from your TenFold-powered application. When you add a file in a TenFold-powered application, your application can, optionally, secure the file in your RDBMS, so, once secured, it need not be on a shared network. For example, an employee transaction in a personnel application can use AnyFile to reference photos on a company network so that end-users can open and view employee pictures as they review employee data. Or, alternatively, the application can automatically load each file into the personnel database so the file need not be on a shared network. When an applications end-user clicks an AnyFile icon, their TenFold-powered application opens the file in the context of its format. So, a Word document opens in Word, for example. AnyFile is available today in EnterpriseTenFold and in Tsunami.
"People want fewer keystrokes, fewer mouse clicks, and more information at their fingertips," said Alexei Chadovich, TenFold's senior vice president of Research and Development. "So why shouldn't people have access to any file from their business application? Who wants to hunt for files? We designed AnyFile to eliminate wasteful steps and give end-users access to the information they want -- in the format they are used to seeing it -- now."
"We're constantly adding new features that give EnterpriseTenFold end-users more speed, quality, and power than they thought possible in a software application," said Dr. Nancy Harvey, TenFold's president and CEO. "AnyFile -- like thousands of other EnterpriseTenFold features -- demonstrates our commitment to making TenFold-powered application end-users the most productive software end-users imaginable."
TenFold recently released on its web site a movie called EasyDocs which shows many AnyFile capabilities and illustrates some useful version management capabilities that you can add to any TenFold-powered application to manage file versions.
