Easily Build sharepoint Applications with Enterprise-Wide Data
Organizations adopting sharepoint quickly recognize its potential. But getting the advanced functionality it promises can take weeks of custom coding using native tools, leaving some to question their initial investment. For example, sharepoint does not allow users to automatically pull data from lists into a centralized list or report, nor does it allow parent-child relationships. These functionalities would allow users to quickly roll-up or create inheritance relationships for data. Since these seemingly basic functions require coding, many users abandon building applications in sharepoint because they just don’t have the expertise to get it done.

Introduction to QWS and application development

Simple Rapid Application Development for sharepoint. Finally.
SharePoint is an excellent collaboration platform with the promise of allowing organizations to build
compelling applications on the sharepoint foundation. But taking sharepoint from its out-of-the-box state to even a moderately simple application can be tedious, time consuming and, for some, insurmountable.

To deliver on the promise of sharepoint application development – or even to build a better sharepoint site with, for example, charts or information from multiple lists – most organizations are forced to rely on custom development, with its inherent high costs and project delays.

Microsoft has delivered a framework that enables anyone to add Web parts and make the platform even more valuable, ideally without custom coding. It is assumed that many organizations will build and consume these key components to expand sharepoint beyond its current native capabilities.

Unlocking SharePoint’s Full Potential. Quickly.
Quest Web Parts for sharepoint allow you leverage the full power (and promise) of sharepoint by enabling anyone to become a sharepoint application designer quickly, effectively and successfully. By removing the core challenges of code creation and complex data integration, Quest Web Parts radically simplifies the approach to sharepoint application development.

Configure Rather Than Code
Developers, business analysts or power users can easily use Quest Web Parts to create applications. That's because applications are created in the tool through configuration, not coding, reducing the cost and time of production by up to 80 percent. This configuration approach also expands the resources available for development by making it simple for coders and non-coders alike to build applications.

Get Data from Anywhere
Quest Web Parts allows you to establish two-way relationships with external data sources, such as your accounting or customer relationship management system. This means you can create and edit information in the external data sources, not just view it. This capability dramatically reduces the “islands of information” that your users encounter. They can now have extensive access to organization-wide data to find what they need when they need it. Plus, they’ll have much simpler interfaces for entering data and accessing reports in these external systems.

Build User-Friendly Applications Seamlessly
In addition to developing applications using external data, Quest Web Parts provides the tools to build sophisticated applications based entirely on data stored in sharepoint. You can aggregate, update, relate, and inherit information from multiple sharepoint lists. This allows you to use centralized lists that can be used across multiple applications. These capabilities, as well as flow control for data entry, robust charting, customizable views, enhanced navigation, and advanced filtering, make recomposing applications in sharepoint a viable alternative to dealing with the hassle and expense of maintaining legacy applications.

Accelerate Your Deployment with Templates
Quest Web Parts includes out-of-the-box templates so you can quickly implement a project management system, customer relationship management system or help desk system. You can extend and customize these templates to fit your needs.
