Show video What are people saying about ONEIS?

We asked attendees at our Open Day to tell us what they thought of ONEIS. Here’s what they said!

Show video Introduction to ONEIS

Ben Summers

An introduction to ONEIS and the technology behind this novel information management system. Many different types of system influenced the design of ONEIS, but because we re-thought how an information system should work, ONEIS is in a category of its own. How the “descriptive” approach to information management results in a system which is practical, accurate, and incredibly easy to use.

CASE STUDY Dave Connors talks about how a custom Time Recorder application built on top of ONEIS enables them to accurately record time for billing, using the contact and project information already in their system.

Show video ONEIS Platform Launch

Ben Summers

The launch of the ONEIS Platform, enabling developers to build information applications on top of the core ONEIS system.
