Cornell-Mayo has leap-frogged our competition by being the first to offer Store Systems Anywhere™.
It's a bold step forward in technology. CMA's Service Oriented Architecture allows it to deliver its systems using
the power of Ruby on Rails. This high-productivity web-enabled framework has generated a lot of discussion and
is the hottest development environment there is. While the Top Ten Programming Languages have remained largely static
over the last year at tiobe.com, the September 2006 Headline
shows Ruby as one of the hottest languages, jumping 14 places in one year, now resting at #13.
XML, DHTML, AJAX, and more...
Omnistore™ uses web technologies like XML, DHTML, AJAX, and SOAP, along with the data acess enabled by Rails
to provide Store level and Enterprise level views of store systems. Now, store sales data and application control can
be delivered anywhere.
Ruby on Rails
Ruby on Rails is an open-source web framework that offers incredible boosts to programmer productivity.
Rails is described as the "killer app" for Ruby by Ruby's creator, Yukihiro Matsumoto. You can check out that quote
and others at the rubyonrails.org website.

2007 is shaping up to be the Year of Omnistore™. Watch for updates.
