texte = Hi all ...Trying to swing a client to buy WebCat for his Ecom needs. After pointing their CTO to SM site and doing a presentation to their BOD, a question was raised that surprised me.Check out www.omnis.net and their software Omnis Studio 3. It is a RAD software with tremendous capability. It even comes with client side processing via a plug-in for browsers, has a great IDE to facilitate a quick learning curve and ease of linking to industry standard database system.The question posed by the CTO then ... Between WC and Omnis, it is obvious that Omnis has greater potential and scalability. Why then is WC more expensive? Would it not be more prudent to invest in an Omnis backend at the get go since it does lots more then WC and cost less?Well ... I graciously conceded that I was not aware of Omnis and would get back to them during the second round of meeting, after having had the chance to check it out. Well, I downloaded the demo and all the documentation. Am still in the process of evaluating ....If anyone out there has heard, dwelled on or used Omnis Studio ... I would appreciate your take on it with respect to the CTO's question. I especially like the web client component capability. I am all ears and put learning curve aside as a factor.Thanks all - Terry D.
