The eQ!™ foundation is aimed at all levels of Java developers, from the architect and senior developer down to the junior Java developer and web developer. The services and features of eQ!™ allow plenty of flexibility and power for the power programmer, and yet it also has features that are easy to use for the less experienced developers.

For the architects and senior developers, the eQ!™ development model allows you to spend more time in design and thinking about the overall architecture of the application and less time in time-consuming cookie-cutter code. The eQ!™ Foundation also strives to allow you to work the way you want to work. It does not constrain you to a particular IDE or set of wizards, or prevent you from deploying in your application server of choice.

To achieve this, eQ!™ provides a rich set of features and components that can be used as needed. From the powerful persistence layer, the XML-based scripting engine, and the technology adapters, eQ!™ allows you to design and build your applications quicker and be easier to maintain and allow your application to evolve and scale as needed.
