Alongside the challenges of creating an application
that functions well from a technical standpoint,
you need to create applications that meet specific
commercial needs - your application must fit a
particular market or provide the perfect solution
for a particular customer. That's where our Omnis
Success Stories, or case studies, come
in. These describe commercially successful applications,
written in Omnis Studio, and the companies that
created them. And it's always interesting to see
what type of application is succeeding commercially.

We have just added a new success story to our
website, about a solution called EasyLex, by Italian
software developer SoftLab Srl, which is a complete
management system for Law Firms. EasyLex allows
many standard functions including the tracking
of all case activities and communications with
clients, as well project scheduling, accounting
functions, timesheet management, and even Skype
dialling and SMS delivery. EasyLex has been developed
in Omnis over a number of years, and is one of
the market leaders in Italy with more than 5,000
users. And in 2008, at the annual Omnis Italian
developers' conference, it received an award from
TigerLogic as the best Italian application written
in Omnis Studio. SoftLab was founded in 1989 by
Roberto Targa and now has a staff of 13 people.

A good way to learn Omnis is to undertake a properly
structured Omnis Training
course, assuming you can find a few days away
from your busy schedule. The big advantage of
this approach is that you'll be learning from
an expert instructor and you'll be with a group
of people who are in the same position as you,
trying to learn a new product or new skills. That's
why we're delighted to tell you about an Omnis
training course from one of the most respected
companies in the Omnis development world, and
by one of the most entertaining speakers around.

At the end of this month, long-term Omnis developer
Mophilly & Associates
are presenting an "Introduction to Omnis
Studio" class, which happens to be the first
training in North America for several months:
the dates are July 28 through August 2. Add to
this, the fact that the instructor on this occasion
is the incomparable Christopher
Cozad, makes this an unmissable opportunity.
Christopher is an expert with Omnis Studio and
has an impressive command of a wide array of related
technology (and has been known to traipse around
a trade show floor dressed as a wizard, all for
the sake of Omnis). For more information about
this unique opportunity, visit the Mophilly website:
www.mophilly.com,
or contact Melissa Sattenspiel directly: melissa.sattenspiel@mophilly.com.
Places are limited so don't delay if you are interested.

Did
you know the next major release of Omnis Studio
will be Unicode only? At the moment we ship the
Unicode and non-Unicode versions of Omnis and
let developers decide which version to use. The
Unicode version of Omnis was released with Studio
4.1 in 2005 and is being used by several developers
in Europe who need to deploy applications in a
language other than English and store data containing
extended characters. All that the switch to Unicode-only
means is that Omnis will support the full array
of foreign character sets available to the Unicode
version by default (over 100,000 characters!),
nothing else will change.
