The implications of this potent combination for professional software developers are clear: faster development, enhanced performance, and even greater flexibility, resulting in an Omnis Studio cross-platform tool capable of delivering smarter apps within shorter timescales, without cutting corners. 

What’s so special about SAP HANA^®?

In-memory data storage allows SAP HANA^® to take advantage of faster access and prioritised data processing, all of which takes place entirely in central memory and has very positive performance implications. And by managing data in column-based tables, rather than rows, SAP HANA^® likewise achieves much faster read times. These trademark features enable the rapid processing of vast amounts of column-stored data with great precision and virtually zero latency. 

An awesome combination

Combining the powerful storage and retrieval capabilities of the SAP HANA^® relational database engine with the phenomenal depth of features available in Omnis Studio 10.2 builds a versatile software package of awesome power. Equipped with this formidable blend of Omnis Studio and SAP technologies, Omnis partners will now have incredible data processing speeds available at their fingertips for both web and mobile applications and for deployment in e-commerce solutions, state-of-the-art reporting, and real-time business analysis contexts. 

Rapid development

Omnis Studio provides an intuitive and productive environment which offers ultra-fast prototyping, promotes development efficiency, and simplifies routine debugging and maintenance procedures. Incorporating SAP HANA^®’s astounding performance capacity simply supercharges these robust features, leaving the developer free to focus on solving problems and creating effective business solutions. 

The power of SAP HANA^® in tandem with Omnis Studio’s renowned productivity is apparent when working on resource-hungry web and mobile apps. As of now, any apps with extensive data footprints can immediately benefit from SAP HANA^®’s in-memory technology. SAP HANA^® can provide an advanced, column-oriented database capable of processing all types of data while handling transactional and analytical workloads at the same time. And let’s remind ourselves, Omnis Studio’s own multi-platform profile means applications require just a one-time development before they are available for multiple deployments across any kind of platform and device. 

Having a column-oriented, multi-modal database at your disposal which can rapidly process all kinds of data and perform analytical functions alongside transactional interactions is bound to make a significant contribution to the development of smarter solutions. And with the new collaboration between SAP HANA^® and Omnis Studio, developers have a RAD tool with the potential to create more intelligent applications featuring advanced analytics which can inform strategic actions and real-time business decisions on the fly. 

Corporate benefits

Pairing SAP HANA^®’s ability to process heavy workloads in a single database system with the acclaimed development productivity of Omnis Studio saves time and developer resources, enabling businesses to focus on creating successful, leading-edge solutions in every kind of enterprise across a host of market sectors. Omnis Studio’s ‘code once’ philosophy adds the flexibility companies need to deploy apps to desktops, mobile devices and on the web, across every kind of platform. 

The integration of SAP HANA^®’s one unified database engine with Omnis Studio’s cross-platform development environment helps companies to develop smart, insight-driven applications based on real-time data insights, in-memory technology and machine learning, whether in the cloud or as on-premise applications. It will guarantee highly reliable, performance-focused solutions grounded in pervasive data intelligence to provide improved agility and innovation and drive faster times to market while simultaneously reducing risks, costs and complexity. 

A new horizon for SAP HANA^® users too

This powerful new alliance also represents a fruitful opportunity for enterprises already running SAP HANA^®. With this new integration option they can take advantage of the Omnis Studio rapid application development solution. From now on, they will have the freedom and the productivity to create their own high-quality apps to run on a multitude of operating systems including Windows, Mac, iOS and Android, as they explore the huge potential of the latest version 10.2 of Omnis Studio.

The post Learn Web & Mobile App Development for FREE in the Omnis Academy appeared first on Omnis.

The Omnis Academy provides free, online training in how to create applications that can be run on the web, and on iOS & Android mobile devices – the academy is a great introduction to application design, and would also be a great way to get your first Omnis development project started. We currently provide three types of training in Omnis Studio: Online Training which provides live scheduled courses with our expert trainers, Video Tutorials which you can step through online at your own pace, and In-class Training (although the latter has been suspended until later in the year due to the Covid-19 health travel restrictions.)

Online Training

Our brand-new Online Training provides you with a great opportunity to learn about all aspects of application development, using the latest version of Omnis Studio. The new training provides six different courses, each 90 minutes long, and conducted by our own Omnis trainers and technical consultants, who have many years’ experience using Omnis Studio and developing applications for customers large and small, and for many different types of industry – so they are well versed in all the different steps needed to create successful web and mobile applications.

The online training includes a course for beginners or existing Omnis developers who are new to Omnis Studio 10 or developing JavaScript applications for the first time – the other courses build on those basic skills and cover more specialized or advanced topics. The following courses are available:

• Omnis Studio Basics in Developing Web and Mobile Apps
  allows you to get started quickly and easily with Omnis Studio and will take you through all the basic steps needed to create an app.
• Omnis Studio Database Connectivity
  will teach you all about connecting to a server database which will serve as the backbone of your web and mobile applications.
• Developing a Messenger App in Omnis Studio
  will show you how to create a messenger app using a bubble interface and push notifications.
• Enhance your Omnis Apps by Implementing a menu system
  shows you how to create a role-based menu access system to provide different levels of security in your application and control who sees what.
• Enhance your Omnis Apps by Implementing a REST Service Client and Server
  shows you how to add a RESTful interface to your applications so you can access many powerful, third-party services and data, or you can provide your own REST service.
• Develop Standalone Mobile Apps
  shows you how to create a mobile app that will run without a connection but can be synced to consolidate yours and others’ data.

We are very excited to be launching the new Online Training which will hopefully mean you and many other Omnis developers will learn more great Omnis technology to use in your current and future Omnis development projects. The new training is available on our website:

www.omnis.net/developers/academy/

Video Tutorials

If you cannot attend one of our online training sessions, then you can complete our step-by-step training using our Video Tutorials – the advantage of this option is that you can step through at your own pace, completing different parts when you can. The video tutorials take you through the necessary steps to create a web & mobile based app for managing customers and orders in a restaurant: we provide full documentation, complete sample libraries and code to download, and there are specially recorded videos, recorded by Andreas Pfeiffer, experienced trainer and senior consultant from our German office.

There are 5 separate videos that take you through the academy course, step-by-step – the videos are available in English and German, while the docs are available in English, German and Spanish. The five parts are:-

• Part 1: First steps and creating the service staff remote form
• Part 2: Enhancing the restaurant service form & showing the picture
• Part 3: Making the order button & writing the record into the database
• Part 4: Implementing the Corporate Identity & developing a second remote form
• Part 5: Adding a push service to synchronize all devices & creating a report class to print the bill

After you complete all the stages of the online academy you will have a fully working application that you can test on your tablet or mobile, either on Android or Apple devices (the same app is used for both). We provide all the modules in the application in a Resources library (which you download), so if you want to shortcut or skip any stages you can by copying classes and code – this is all described in the videos.

We feel sure that if you spend the time to work through the Omnis Academy course you will learn so much about application development, and be able to use the skills you have gained. The video tutorials are available here:
