Introducing Ortus DataBoss: Dynamic ORM Administrator

lmajano@ortussolutions.com (Luis Majano) — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 05:00:00 GMT

We are proud to announce today the public release of our product Ortus DataBoss. We have been working on this product for a few years now and finally it has reached its culmination and is ready available for purchase. So let me introduce to you our new brain child: DataBoss.

What is DataBoss?

Ortus DataBoss is an application that will help you manage CFML Object Relational Mapper (ORM) objects without the need of writing administrative code for them; thus a Dynamic Administrator. DataBoss will talk to the underlying ORM engine (Hibernate) and get all the necessary information to manage all the ORM entities and its relationships in that specific CFML application DataBoss has been deployed to. You can watch our introductory video to get a quick overview of what DataBoss is and how it can benefit your development.
