More reliable and practical than in-house development
JViews products empower developers to focus on the needs of your end users. Developing rich, sophisticated displays from scratch is difficult, requiring a varied mix of skills—everything from graphics expertise to architecture design and web deployment. Add graph theory, cartography, or some other specialization and the task is daunting. ILOG JViews takes care of all of these challenges for Java developers, providing a field-tested, proven library of components that they can immediately leverage.

A Software Development Kit (SDK) with tools that accelerate development time
ILOG JViews products are delivered as a set of customizable graphical components—a software development kit (Java class libraries). In addition to the SDK, ILOG JViews contains a number of point-and-click editors that allow for customization without coding—integrated development environments (IDEs) for high end graphical displays. As with an IDE, developers can refine the output with the underlying SDK. The editors speed both prototyping and development efforts while the SDK ensures access to all of the product’s functionality.

A broad range of features
Each ILOG JViews product contains a full host of features to meet your needs. Most have been gathered from customer requests over the past 20 years and from previous ILOG Visualization products. Chances are high that what you need is built into the product. ILOG JViews comes with a completely open and fully documented application programming interface (API), making it easy to extend and subclass existing classes.

Built to solve the most demanding problems
Some solutions work fine with small problem sets. For example, open source graph layout algorithms may be adequate when your network has 100 nodes but not with 10,000. Or a basic map display works fine, but not if real-time moving objects are added. ILOG JViews products are architected to handle large problem sets, so they avoid these types of issues. With features such as load-on-demand, triple buffering, and double-caching algorithms, large data sets are handled with ease.

Build once for both the desktop and the web client
Every ILOG JViews product has functionality for deployment as either a desktop Java applet or application, or as a thin web client. When deployed as a web client, ILOG JViews runs on the server and generates an image, along with JavaScript, so there is no needs to install a plug-in. Options supported by ILOG JViews include JavaServer Faces interoperability, Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) thin clients and asynchronous JavaScripting and XML (AJAX) client-side updates.

Excellent customer support options
ILOG customer support has got you covered, no matter what your needs may be. Most customers find that ILOG standard maintenance service is all they require. Those with special needs use our optional, extended services, such as 24-hour on-site support. ILOG develops other optional solutions to meet the needs of the few customers who need service beyond both the standard and optional service plans.

Industry leadership
Nearly one out of three JViews developers on ILOG’s development staff has a Ph.D in their field, offering the depth of talent to tackle the most difficult areas in the science of visualization. But our developers take their expertise beyond ILOG products, and frequently apply their talents in numerous industry working groups, steering committees, and standards bodies. ILOG development staff is active in organizations that include OpenGIS (mapping), W3C SVG (graphics interchange formats), TeleManagement Forum (communications standards), and BPMN (workflow standards). ILOG frequently presents products at various technology conferences and contributes articles to scholarly and industry trade journals.

Ongoing corporate commitment
ILOG has been providing Visualization software components since 1987, and continues to invest heavily in these products. ILOG does not rely on consulting revenues to generate a product’s profits. All ILOG products are packaged for immediate use by your development team, and since the company has a varied product base, it is a stable choice. All ILOG products are backed with frequent maintenance releases, global support and professional consulting.
