MultiValue (Pick) should have evolved into today’s dominant computer operating environment.
Before the introduction of GUI, MultiValue use grew quickly. It was/is an on-line, real-time, interactive system that made it easy to provide more features and functions in an application than the competition. After GUI was introduced, buyers no longer cared about features and functions, they wanted pretty screens. They could add the features and functions later!
The MultiValue environment’s programming languages could be learned by almost anyone. The text based green screen applications were easy to use. Many of the early programmers were the users of the applications they wrote.
It was only recently with the introduction of Evoke from BlueFinity International that MultiValue legacy code and data could seamlessly integrate into the Microsoft, Android and Apple GUI environments protecting the millions of dollars companies invested in MultiValue.
Evoke is a low-code rapid app development environment for the creation of Microsoft compliant apps incorporating MultiValue and SQL databases.* Unlike MultiValue tools that use Visual Studio to help in the writing of DataBasic, Evoke generates a design that Visual Studio uses to create projects that compile into 100% Microsoft apps. Anything supported by Visual Studio can be incorporated into an Evoke designed app as well as legacy MultiValue application code and data. Spaghetti code is a thing of the past. Evoke generates standardized, easy to follow code that simplifies maintenance and the program updates that keeps apps current with ever evolving business requirements and technological advances including generative AI such as ChatGPT.
Digital transformation is essential for companies to stay competitive and adapt to ever evolving business and rapidly changing technological requirements. Evoke provides a design to Visual Studio for the creation of apps that are deployed as native, hybrid and web to run on most mobile and desktop devices.
Microsoft Developers benefit from a familiar and robust coding environment using Visual Studio . MultiValue Developers using Evoke create modern, user-friendly digital apps without specialized training in modern GUI app development or learning stacks of other technologies! The cross-platform compatibility of Evoke designed mobile and desktop apps run seamlessly in Android, iMac, iOS and Windows operating environments.
Evoke’s design tool prioritizes simplicity and usability in app design via drag and drop, point and click and option select to facilitate the creation of apps that presents responsive design and modern interfaces to the user. Evoke allows for the inclusion of those features and functions from the legacy applications that contributed to MultiValue system growth through the 1980s and 90s. Evoke created apps can also include the latest technological advances like generative AI and state of the art presentation layers to get apps created by MultiValue Developers that provide customer and employee digital experiences as good as any.
Did you also know that it takes significantly less time to create and deploy an app incorporating MultiValue with Evoke than any other method? Did you know that it costs significantly less money using Evoke to create, deploy and maintain an app over a five-year period than any other method?
Contact BlueFinity and ask to see an Evoke presentation, you will be glad that you did.
* Evoke permits multiple diverse databases and legacy application code to be used within a single app!
