Evolution allows companies to integrate applications on a global scale without complex infrastructure or software.
It enables developers to rapidly and cost-effectively transition existing Windows desktop applications to a service
or API-based model. Whether you are an independent software vendor transitioning to SaaS or corporate IT unifying
your development efforts, implementing with an API-based model gives existing applications the ability to seamlessly
integrate even if built with different programming languages.
With Evolution, developers can create an API to expose the business rules developed in one language, such as DataFlex
or C#, and have it available to be consumed by other languages via multiple protocols. The Evolution framework allows
Windows developers to:
- Build an API using many development languages (C#, Java, DataFlex, VB, etc)
- Expose the API via HTTP or TCP/IP socket using multiple protocols (SOAP, JSON-RPC, Thrift binary, Thrift compact)
- Deliver mobile, Web, or desktop application solutions
- Serve the application with a web server (Apache or IIS) or standalone
APIs have revolutionized the way varied software programs interact with each other. Mertech’s Evolution Server solves
the challenges of integration between different programming languages and protocol mismatches with zero investment
in a new architecture. All you need is an existing proxy server — no complex enterprise buses or costly middleware
required. So whether you are running your services on premises or over the cloud, Evolution Server gives you the
speed and simplicity to operate an agile and efficient business.
