Developer Challenges and Needs
 Need a higher level separation
Users
Presentation Layers
Business Layers
Data Layers
Data Sources
Services
between architecture layers
 Increasing complexity, need more
focus on the business logic
 Need to adopt to business and
technology changes quickly

Modeled by Architect
Generated From Model
Requires Additional Developer Code
ECO provides
Focus on the business logic
Helps you raise the level of abstraction
Achieves higher level separation
Implements Rapid Model-Driven Development
Builds on 9 years of Model-Centric Application Framework success
Uses UML and OCL industry standards from OMG
ECO runs on scalable .NET platform
Provides Model-Centric not Database-Centric
Includes…
 Object to Relational Database mapping
 Object to User Interface data binding
 Advanced Framework Services
What is ECO?
ECO is an acronym for Enterprise Core Objects
ECO is an Application Framework
ECO is built upon .NET and FCL from Microsoft
ECO is components and classes to use in your Application at
Runtime
ECO is also design time tools available in Delphi IDE
Adopt a framework build on current and future technology
Framework provides OR mapping
 Databases crucial to business software
 Code to populate objects with data from database and store
changes is in the framework – you can focus on delivering
business value instead of nuts and bolts
Generated SQL
 Easier to test
 Less error prone
 You can still write your own SQL where optimization requires
Less code to maintain
 Easier to change and extend your application
 Lower maintenance cost
Object to User Interface data binding
Fully compatible with .NET built-in data binding
 All third party components can use your objects as data source if
they are not hardwired to DataSet class
Components to simplify data binding to objects
 Binding to ordinary (non ECO) objects requires code.
 You must always wrap single objects in something that support
at least the IList-interface
Query language (OCL) to help retrieve the right data for UI
Component Extenders
 Auto forms, Drag and Drop to manipulate associations, common
actions – All to get less code to maintain
Developer Value
Quality
 WYMIWIG – What you model is what you get !
 Allow focus at the business need - not implementation
 Less code = less defects
 Manageable Complexity
Adaptability, Predictability
 Designed for Change
 Automatic evolution
 Manageable side effects
Productivity throughout the application lifecycle
 Iterative design / develop process
 Development 5 – 10* times faster
 Maintenance and continuous change; even higher
Developer Advantage
Less
More
 Details
 Code
 Defects
 Time
 Focus
 Quality
 Adaptability
 Predictability
 Productivty
