Top-Notch Workflow
We've seen this term bantered about by our competitors, but once we reviewed their product demos we were left wondering if they really understand what true workflow is. Ntractive is the only hosted application solution to contain the real workflow capabilities of actually automating processes with no manual intervention -- the same powerful features used by global enterprises world-wide to cut costs and increase productivity -- and we've included the power of real workflow in our base product. The difference is dramatic.
Size Doesn't Matter
Elements SBM was designed from the ground up to be compatible with screen sizes as small as 15 inches (minimum resolution 1024 x 768), so what does that mean to you? no more scrolling, no more hiding data, no more tricky maneuvering of multiple windows. No matter if you have a MacBook or a 30" Cinema display Elements SBM will look, feel and work the same. In fact, it doesn't even matter what computer you have. On Mac OS X, grab a free copy of the Elements for the premiere business management experience. Got an iMac? MacBook? an MacBook Pro (Santa Rosa)? Or maybe you have a brand new 8-core Mac Pro workstation (congratulations if you do). No matter, Elements SBM will feel and work the same on any of them. Oh, you need Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger,) or new upcoming 10.5 (Leopard) but, then, you'd want that anyway, right?

And, because we're such accommodating folk, we've scheduled the development of the custom Elements SBM for Windows into Phase II of the product roll out.

The Construct and Architecture
Ever read Tog on Interface? How about the Apple Human Interface Guidelines? Well, we sure have, and we think that we've put together a system that is not only powerful, but supremely easy to use, and pretty darn easy on the eyes as well. Let's face it, if you're going to be using a system all day long, it might as well be pleasant to look at, right?

Starting on that solid foundation of ease of use, we took our decades of experience in building small businesses into bigger ones and rethought the whole business management model. What works for General Motors probably isn't going to work for the small business, regardless of how many books on the subject are sold. We think that we've come up with something that will not only grow your business, but will be something that you'll want to show off to your friends and business associates. (Psst: that's pretty much the extent of our marketing -- we want to make something that is so cool and so successful that you'll want to tell everyone!)

All the eye candy and business model planning isn't going to amount to a hill of beans without something running the show. And, as long as we were breaking the rules of what a web application should look like, and what a business management tool should do, we figured that we'd go for three out of three and write the whole system with bleeding edge technology that will quickly have you forgetting that you're using an always on, available anywhere web application. Cool stuff you'll use all the time, like editing records on the page they're displayed on, numbers that update in real time without any reloading, or searching records on the fly. Before too long, you'll be looking for those on other site's pages, and wondering why it doesn't work there.

We're not so much into bantering buzz words around, so we'll ignore our use of Objective-C, XML, XHTML, CSS, SVG, CANVAS, DHTML, SOAP, AJAX, Hybrid Web App, Javascript, and Lasso. MySQL? Well, it's the best database around, so you'd have to assume that it's under the hood, right? SSL encryption goes without saying... protecting your data is as important to us as it is to you.

And, if you think we'd trust our business to anything other than Apple's OS X servers...
