The first Dynamic Application, it3 Foundation, was installed in 1990. It was the result of 4 years of previous work on a vertical application and the generalization of that product. This installation was so successful that Foundation was installed in a number of other businesses. Each client business was in a different vertical market, i.e. of a different type. The installation locations were: a print shop, veterinary clinic, auto repair shop, bicycle shop, wood products manufacturer. In each case the product was adopted after an arms length competitive comparison process against vertical market products in each industry. A number of case studies in those early years showed that each client business showed an increase in annual gross revenue of over 10% (at a typical gross margin of 35%) after computerization with Foundation.
The Dynamic Application story started many years earlier when the author was still working as a research chemist. He asked to have an application developed to automate certain chemical laboratory functions. The results, while reliable, failed to usefully deliver the required operational laboratory business needs. The author then spent more time doing software design himself, putting chemistry aside, and ended up with an excellent chemistry lab business solution. However, in the process he became converted to being an IT designer and programmer.
About 5 years ago, the author was commissioned to develop and add a time-based scheduling component on top of the existing Foundation dynamic business management application. While designing and developing this scheduled departure functionality, the author was assisting another business in assessing and selecting a solution for a date-based reservation management business, a motel. The author was able to use dynamic application concepts to produce a user-configurable application that encompassed the full range of functionality required for both time- and date-based businesses. This resulted in a new product, a user- configurable reservation management system - it3 Reservation. The pioneer tourist adventure company started using the it3 Reservation product in 1995. The motel owner had been looking for a suitable application for over 2 years (examining dozens of candidate programs) with no success. Upon seeing the new dynamic it3 Reservation product, the motel owner purchased it immediately and has been quite pleased with its subsequent use.
The Dynamic Application technology was moved into the Windows world in 1998 with the development of a new virtual forms technology required to isolate forms generation from static programmer-designed table structures. This was critical as dynamic applications needed to be able to produce forms for tables of unknown structure since the user determines the table structures at run time.
Some hard lessons were learned from the above experiences. Good, efficient and relevant software designs are difficult to produce. Many, if not most, software products are limited in effectiveness because it is difficult to represent complex business processes in static computer software features. The all too common process of 'computerization' involves a great deal of business analysis focused at facilitating how to fit the business to the capabilities of the software. Our goal was one of wanting to fit the software to client businesses.
