FacilityMAX(TM) blends the latest-generation Java 5.0 developmentenvironment and a lightweight J2EE development specification toproduce a powerful, fully-integrated, server-centric, EAM solution.Unlike solutions that rely on third-party development tools orproprietary development environments, FacilityMAX was conceived as anative Java application.

"FacilityMAX(TM)'s modest IT footprint enables our customers torealize significant cost savings," said John Hines, President ofMAXIMUS Asset Solutions division.

Application customization is accomplished using J2EE constructsknown as "portals" (which enable users to group and manage Webcontent), "portlets" (which enable FacilityMAX(TM) to be implementedalongside other applications in a unified portal), and "Java ServerFaces" or "JSF" (which enable FacilityMAX(TM) to support customizableand reusable user interface components).

FacilityMAX(TM) also incorporates Really Simple Syndication("RSS") technology, a lightweight XML specification used by theFacilityMAX(TM) WorkDesk(TM) to group and deliver relevant RSS orFacilityMAX(TM)-conformant data "feeds" to specific users. TheWorkDesk environment facilitates a more efficient "push" versus "pull"user interaction model, and WorkDesk content can be drawn from anynumber of sources, including FacilityMAX(TM) records, externalapplications, reports, and publicly-available RSS feeds.

"The use of innovative technologies like JSF and RSS enableFacilityMAX(TM) to become substantially more than just a softwareapplication that runs in an Internet browser," Hines noted."FacilityMAX(TM) quite literally becomes an integral part of theInternet, securely sending and receiving user-relevant data to andfrom anywhere on the Internet."
