Item Foundry (tm) is a dynamic integration suite for rich web applications. With Item Foundry, you can provision applications using lightweight itemscript. With itemscript, your components, widgets and services become building blocks for new applications. Developers and users work together to create solutions from re-usable building blocks.

Item Foundry enables dynamic integration to enable rich web services that drive business agility. With the Item Foundry, you'll increase re-usability, reduce time to solution and lower your cost of ownership.

Item Foundry is based on itemscript. Itemscript is a concise, declarative application provisioning language. In the same way that web services hide the complexity of access methods and file coding schemes, itemscript abstracts user interface components and data to hide complexity. As you discover new data or develop more useful widgets, you can upgrade your applications without changing the itemscript that provisions the user interface.

Item Foundry includes the Item Cloud (an integration server), Item Lens (a model application platform) and Item Train (a BPM platform).

The Item Cloud understands business semantics and applies them to marshall data, provision interfaces and add value to your information assets. The Item Lens animates your schema on a rich web interface. With the Item Lens you can use lean software development practices that keep your information services up to date as needs develop. The Item Train handles async interactions with the Item Cloud, monitors events and takes action to automatically escalate critical events or fulfill transactions.

Item Foundry brings open technologies (XML, SQL, JSON, itemscript) together to enable rapid application development using lightweight re-usable building blocks. Item Foundry is based on the itemscript declarative language. Item Lens is based on the Item Robot, an open source animator for functions written in itemscript.

With the Item Foundry, you'll inform intelligent decisions. streamline the back office processes that flow from front office interactions, enable collaboration, document decisions and provide a full audit trail of events and actions taken. More importantly, you'll dramatically reduce time to market for new products and services.
