ManyDesigns Portofino

Introduction

ManyDesigns Portofino is a model-driven web application framework focused on productivity and maintainability. It allows you to build high-quality enterprise information systems by defining the application's logical models and letting the framework automatically translate them into a working system.

Portofino can be used to develop web applications for information management, workflow and collaboration, front-office and back-office processes, customer relationship management, and much more.

Immediate benefits

Reduced development time - application models can be composed and configured quickly to produce feature-rich applications.
Robustness - models are automatically translated in a working application, while the system looks after the technical coherence between the various parts.
Great for analysts - build, show and test your application even on a laptop, in front of your customer.
Clean, professional interface from the beginning.
Project visibility - show project progress to customers, managers and your team.

Long-term benefits

Quality - models ensure a stronger architectural foundation.
Lower maintenance costs - models can be understood and modified after a long time after initial development, even by modelers not in the initial team.
Low ownership costs, through a flexible architecture that works on all the main commercial and open-source database technologies.

Real-time development

With Portofino you can create a fully functional application for yourself or for your customers by simply assembling and configuring a number of application models. The models are logical, do not require coding and can be entered through a simple web interface.
The translation of the model into the application is automatic and requires only a few milliseconds. The modeler can shape the application in real time and test it immediately, even with the customer at a very early stage: during analysis, bid, or proof-of-concept.
As a result, the long cycles of traditional software development (days, weeks, or months) are reduced.

For the business

Improve the productivity of enterprise software development with a technology that helps you deliver successful projects on the short term and lowers the maintenance costs on the long term.

Choice of open-source or commercial license

We offer Portofino under dual-licensing (open-source or commercial) to give our users and customers maximum choice.

The open-source license is great if you develop open-source solutions, if you develop for internal use, or if you prefer community support. Also, it is a great way to use the technology at no cost.

The commercial license is offered through subscriptions and developer licenses. We offer our software, support and expertise to help you get the most out of your Portofino-based projects.
