CIOL: Application developers/technologists often face problems just getting hold of tools what they use in day to day work. How do Embarcadero solutions address the needs of them?

MG: All-Access addresses this in a number of ways.

From the economic angle, All-Access is a way for customers not only to powerfully increase their capability, but to reduce their overall spending on application development, database development, system and data architecture, and DBA tools.

With Embarcadero All-Access, customers can effectively simplify licensing (selection, acquisition, provisioning, management) making it easier for users to access the right tool when they need it and enabling users to get far more value for their tools investments.

In-Memory vs. On-Disk Database Systems

Beyond economic considerations, All Access’s Instant technology allows users to easily “click-and-run” All-Access tools on-demand, without installation, either locally or over the network.

Combine that with our concurrent license option, where users can check out licenses from a common pool, use it and then return the license for someone else to use, All Access becomes the ultimate “no friction” way to use the tools needed and increase effectiveness.

CIOL: How does your solution help application developers and database professionals to build and run software applications and data systems for all of their platforms and programming languages?

MG: Embarcadero is widely recognized for enabling customers to leverage all of the industry’s major database platforms, operating systems, frameworks, and programming languages.

The All-Access provides application and database developers, architects, and DBAs with on-demand access to the full range of award-winning application and database development tools needed to design things right, build them faster, and run them better. It gives users all the power of Embarcadero's tools through a single, convenient toolbox solution. This solution combines maximum capability with optimal flexibility to meet evolving needs across projects, roles, programming languages, and platforms.

Srivatsa Subramanya: The Embarcadero All-Access is an easier, more cost-effective way to manage tools and tools investments, providing year-over-year predictability and savings while enabling users and their teams to consistently achieve better results in less time.

With Embarcadero InstantOn, users gain the ability to simply "click-and-run" their selected tool on-demand, either locally or over the network, without prior installation on their local machine.

InstantOn saves valuable time by allowing quick and convenient access to tools, even in locked-down desktop environments where installing software is problematic.
