Ozone Widget Framework (OWF) OWF is a web desktop or webtop environment. The OWF widget environment leverages window to window messaging making it effective for large enterprise application consolidation. The framework provides a suite of APIs that enable the Widget developer to extend their Web application through the use of inter-widget communication. You can download the OWF as Government Open Source Software (GOSS) through GitHub at https://github.com/ozoneplatform/owf/

3 Critical Widget Design Mistakes

1. Architecture
   Ensure user interface logic is independent of business logic.  This will ensure maximum future reuse.
2. Abstraction
   External interactions outside of the widget should be abstracted via an interface.  It's always easier to set a configuration parameter than to rewrite code.
3. Design 
   Pay attention to the design of the user interface.  After all someone has to use this thing.  You can have the most elegant code ever written, but if your user interface is horrible nobody is going to use it.

Our applications empower national security decision and support in an increasingly mobile military.

Create Dashboards for your Workforce

Dashboards enable your users to have a central "toolbox" for common apps they are required to use in their daily tasking. This reduces new hire training and ensures staff is delivering consistent results utilizing the same mandated tool sets and procedures. Find out how our solutions will save your workforce time and you money in training costs.

Are widgets just another fad?

The implementation of widget based application delivery has only begun.  To foster improvements to all government supported applications, President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act for 2012.  Congess has stressed its support of the Ozone Widget Framework (OWF) open source initative stating, "The Army and other organizations are banking on the success of the OWF and widget development to solve major search, query, and correlation requirements."  Several branches of government are in need of these solutions as their legacy applications have become too difficult to manage.  Falcon supports these agencies and can assist your organization to modernize its applications.  

In a time of defense cutting, don't let your legacy applications mark the death of your program.
