Description of Products/Services:

GraphLogic has invented a fundamentally new way to create and run computer applications. This patented invention allows complex, enterprise scale applications to be developed far faster than with conventional approaches. GraphLogic which will change the way software is developed throughout the industry.

PointDragon

PointDragon is a revolutionary Web 2.0 next generation software platform. PointDragon is the first ever commercially available 100% web-based environment that can be used to build all aspects of complex, enterprise systems. Rich web interfaces, complex programming logic, and large scale schemas and databases are created seamlessly within PointDragon's browser interface. No traditional programming is required to create software applications. Applications can be developed collaboratively over the web; no downloads required.

PointDragon LIMS

GraphLogic uses PointDragon to build laboratory information management systems (LIMS) for the life sciences, biotech and other industries. These industries require data intense, high throughput, rapid growth development environments - a perfect fit for PointDragon's robust capabilities. PointDragon systems offer the high quality and fast turnaround demanded of the scientific community.

Competitors:

GraphLogic approached software design and creation from an entirely new perspective, beginning with the multifaceted, complex applications in the life sciences domain. GraphLogic abandoned the typical approach that calls for incremental improvements to existing technology, choosing to build a fundamentally new platform from the ground up. This solution, PointDragon, is an extremely powerful and novel web based integrated development environment. PointDragon is the first of its kind; a fully scalable, completely visual, codeless application platform that is completely and truly web based. GraphLogic has been using PointDragon successfully for several years and has expanded its scope and power to the point where it is now a full featured, robust, visual development environment. With PointDragon, LIMS and other complex systems can be created ten times faster than was ever possible.

There are no viable competitors in this market. Although a couple of firms have launched codeless, web based products, their work is in infancy. PointDragon has a strong competitive advantage over these products.
In the LIMS sector, GraphLogic offers a dramatically different approach from its competition. GraphLogic competitors simply offer a different package solution for each process or part thereof; a clumsy approach at best. Rather than focusing on creating a variety of packaged software solutions for different kinds of scientific processes, GraphLogic instead creates a broad, generalized system that handles any possible kind of scientific laboratory processes. This generalized platform allows GraphLogic to deliver its software solutions more rapidly than any other vendor.

Biggest Opportunities:

First, GraphLogic is poised to dominate the LIMS market within the life sciences sector. Second, GraphLogic will leverage the inherent power and simplicity of PointDragon to launch a presence in the internet based, social networking sector.

GraphLogic is also gaining solid traction in the biotech and life science sectors, due to its flexibility and cost effectiveness. GraphLogic developers build LIMS ten times faster than our competitors, and our customers are very pleased with the results. GraphLogic is also the premier vendor for the GS-20 sequencing system, built and offered by 454 Life Sciences.

PointDragon's accessibility makes it the perfect environment for social networking. The defining characteristic of PointDragon is its codeless, easy to use web based interface, which allows developers to build their own systems and share them over the internet. PointDragon builders can join with the greater developer community to create an application library; a place where applications can be borrowed, modified, and maintained over the web.

PointDragon's flexibility allows for easy entry into new markets. Industries suitable for PointDragon enabled products include the legal, financial, educational, and healthcare industries.

Greatest Challenge:

The greatest challenge facing GraphLogic is finding and hiring talented, hardworking engineers with strong technical backgrounds. GraphLogic seeks developers who want to use PointDragon. Fortunately, candidates can sign up for free access to PointDragon at www.pointdragon.com, and hone their skills, gaining a competitive edge over other applicants. GraphLogic is looking for very bright, very eager, energetic recent college grads who want to learn new skills early on in their careers.

Another challenge will be to keep up with the exploding demand as the PointDragon developer web site gains popularity. As PointDragon experiences this exponential growth, GraphLogic will need to adapt to the demands of hosting tens of thousands of different applications, providing superior customer service, and managing huge amounts of data.
