The Nouveau Alliance Collaboration Platform is light-weight enough to run on an individual user's machine, yet scalable enough to deploy on a department system and host larger numbers of users. It's "Intelligent P2P" technology automatically "discovers" new servers and adds them to the collaboration grid. Users can transparently shrare resources, and collaborate asynchronously and in real time throughout the grid.
The platform hosts core services such as collaboration, messaging, naming, database, and object management. Extended services, including content management and workfow automation, are available as separate products. It also hosts collaboration-enabled applications such as FlowSpace Workflow Developer and NoteSpace Collaborative Notebook. Users can create their own rich client applications, or web-based applications using the integrated web server and servlet engine.
"Nouveau Alliance Collaboration Platform is ideal for creating and deploying collaboration-enabled solutions for capturing and managing information, processes, and tacit knowledge within local and distributed organizations." according to Mr.Gust.
The latest version includes a new Universal Scripting Framework. Users can now extend the platform in over a dozen languages, including Java, JavaScript, Perl, Ruby, and Python, as well as VBScript on Microsoft Windows, and AppleScript on Mac OS X. A new RDBMS integration framework enables storing and retrieving information from any commercial RDBMS within a workflow. DerbyDB, a full-functioned RDBMS is pre-integrated and ready to use at no additional cost. Finally, the Department Edition includes WebStart, a unique technology that enables users to launch platform-hosted applications, such as FlowSpace and NoteSpace, directly from their web browsers. WebStart completely eliminates the overhead of deploying applications to each desktop.
