GateOne Framework

GateOne (previously known as GENE) is a J2EE-based framework for business and content applications in the area of Information Management developed by *instinctools. It is used for the majority of *instinctools' projects as a main framework and forms a base for our all customized products.

GateOne captures know-how of past *instinctools assignments in the form of strictly defined modules and components and forms a solid base for further reuse in new software solutions. Our Development Lab is constantly working on further development and improvement of GateOne functionality.

The main benefits of developing solutions on *instinctools' GateOne Framework for our customers are:

• reduced risk of implementation of complex systems due to reuse of already existing functionality
• flexibility and extendibility of GateOne configuration
• seamless connectivity to a customer’s existing IT infrastructure
• good usability of user interfaces

GateOne has already been effectively used in the following application areas:

• Content management
• Document management
• Media assets management
• Web site management
• Several ERP tasks (such as product catalogue, stock management, etc.)
