The eQ!^TM Foundation's declarative, rather than procedural approach has been well proven over many years in other technologies such as relational databases, where solutions are in large part "configured", not coded. Similarly, the eQ!^TM Foundation provides a means to "configure" applications rather than code them from scratch, while freeing you to implement existing or evolving tools and frameworks with ease. Due to this proven approach, the eQ!^TM Foundation accelerates development, increases portability and significantly minimizes maintenance while maintaining the flexibility needed for serious enterprise architecture design and application development initiatives --- an area where complex, expensive and limited "ease of use" technologies have traditionally fallen far short of expectations.

Best practices:

The eQ!^TM Foundation is grounded in the proven, standards-based Model View Controller (MVC) architecture, promoting a best practices development environment, and standards based solutions.

Flexible:

Our component-based declarative approach, and adherence to MVC makes the eQ!^TM Foundation both standards-based and flexible. This also means you can easily integrate with the variety of applications, development tools such as IDEs, deployment tools such as Application Servers, Business Rule Generators and infrastructure found throughout your enterprise. With the eQ!^TM Foundation, applications can be easily maintained or enhanced, with minimal impact to other parts of your systems --- and your valuable resources.
