Communiqué’s Integrated Development Environment is the development GUI which your web developers will be using to make templates for Communiqué projects. IDE is a complete business implementation platform for Web and business unification applications. Consisting of a development environment and a development server, it includes all the tools necessary for efficient global site creation and maintenance, application development and true business-to-business and inter-enterprise integration.

An integrated open-standard development platform allows Communiqué to work with and host other Web applications without the addition of a Web application server. Additional applications or customization can even be created directly within Communiqué. Open standards and XML allow Communiqué to interface directly between business systems, CRM, and ERP software right on top of the application logic.
Communiqué can also work with the leading Web application servers, leveraging existing investment and infrastructure. Stand-alone or integrated, Communiqué has everything you need to run a robust, global Web environment.

File Editors for Templates
- The IDE contains several editors for each type of file that can be used in creating templates with Communiqué. Programming templates can be done in JAVA, QHTML, ECMA script, etc with color-coded text for each language.
- The GUI provides easy navigation for finding files with a search function as well.
Remote Debugging
- Debugging server side scripts and other debugging helpfuls.
Revision Control
- Keep track of template changes, version tracking and revision capabilities for all project files.
Team Development From Anywhere
- Communiqué’s IDE provides for development from anywhere with an HTTP connection to a Communiqué instance.
GUI Functionality
- Simple and intuitive GUI provides many useful editor tools for more careful coding.
Multiple Development
- Co-ordinate multiple developers working on the same project with proper user ID and tracking.
Server Connections Listings
- IDE provides a listing of all previous server connections in the login box for quick re-access to past instances.

Ease of Use:
The graphical user interface in industry-standard design ensures that your developers quickly feel comfortable in the Integrated Development Environment, making training times minimal.
A customizable workspace, internal browser and multiple project views facilitate and expedite development for even the most complex web applications, while various wizards and pre-defined templates and objects get programmers quickly started.
Team Development:
The scalable and extensible IDE component has been especially designed for decentralized Web development. Project overviews, check-in check-out mechanisms, workflows, as well as extensive logging and version tracking mechanisms ensure structured and efficient development on a global basis.
Deployment:
Thanks to the strict separation of content and design within the Communiqué environment, the IDE can make full use of the system’s extensive global syndication/deployment capabilities for non-content. This “package replication” allows to deploy new presentation rules as well as new application logic throughout the whole organization. This ensures a secure and efficient deployment worldwide.
Content Sources:
Make use of Communiqué’s open architecture and ContentBus technology to access all desired databases and applications. Use the readily available ContentBus services to quickly write special drivers to custom sources.
Site Creation, Maintenance and Expansion:
Use the IDE to create and maintain your Web initiatives in a single place. Your programmers use it to build the template objects that authors then use to create pages. Use it to maintain and adjust your websites, or use it to create new websites, intranets and extranets. The IDE gives you the full flexibility and independence to manage your web initiatives for the years to come.
Application Integration and Development:
Beyond template object creation, the IDE is the tool of choice to integrate 3rd party products and develop entire web applications. Make use of Communiqué’s open architecture and standards compliance to integrate your legacy systems. Create your Web applications in the environment that is designed specifically for the Web.
Enterprise Integration:
Share the IDE with your partners to achieve full enterprise integration (B2Bi) on your common Communiqué platform. By using the same environment and platform as your partners, you can leverage the development synergies and knowledge exchange right from the start, therefore providing the optimal ground for a successful collaboration.
