RISE is a software suite for model driven information system development. Use a single source RISE model to generate your entire information solution including database, web services and documentation. Boost development throughput and improve quality and maintainability!

The RISE user experience is based on a project concept, similar to that of most integrated development environments. The user works with resources and drawings that are part of a single development project.

RISE supports a fully graphical approach to information modeling and system engineering, using ERD (Entity Relationship Diagram). This includes drag-and-drop of entities, their attributes and relations, as well as of views and entire web services.

RISE supports graphic editing of complex objects such as views and orchestrated methods. RISE automatically safeguards the combination process, thus, assuring a technically correct result.

RISE provides several ways to generate code from the model; directly to file, via the RISE Server or as an Internet service. RISE provides code generators for the database layer (SQL/DDL) as well as for the server side application layer (web services and persistent classes). All database scripts are incremental allowing you to install and maintain any number of databases from a single model.

Once you have generated and deployed your information solution as a web service RISE allows you to test run it. This allows you or your software team to test and verify the information solution before programming any integration or client software.

If you develop AJAX front-ends, RISE simplifies the access to your information solution. The utility generates Javascript proxies for calling your methods. This mimicks the SOAP support available for .NET-programmers in Visual Studio and JAVA-programmers in, for instance, NetBeans. The utility also provides a context aware Javascript editor as well as support for storing the proxy code as part of your model.
