CRISOPEYA TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION
The CRISOPEYA Technology builds software applications to manage information. These applications are built over a component that is called the Common Platform. The Common Platform provides the functionalities to manage any kind of information.
Modules are installed onto the Common Platform. These Modules specify what information is to be manged. The modules, called Information Modules, can be added to the Common Platform as required in an unlimited number. You can see some examples on the section Information Modules.
To be able to work with the Information Modules it is mandatory that the Common Platform has been installed. The Common Platform can simultaneously manage modules that work with different database engines.
The software applications are developed with the Java language. In order to run the applications, the Java Runtime Enviroment must have been installed. You can download this software directly from CRISOPEYA.NET by pressing here, or you can either download it from the SUN Download page.
The CRISOPEYA Technology allows you to build customized software applications in a completely automated manner. Following four easy steps, you can build your own customized application in only a few minutes. It does not require that you have any advanced software knowledge.
STEPS TO BUILD A CUSTOMIZED APPLICATION
1 Register → 2 Seed → 3 Requirements → 4 Building
- Register as a CRISOPEYA.NET user
- Download the Seed Tool
- Define the Software Application User Requirements using the Seed Tool
- Send the requirements to CRISOPEYA.NET where the Application will be built
In only a few seconds you will be able to download the software application ready to be installed.

The CRISOPEYA technology, developed by the research team at BEIT, allows the users to acquire customized software applications without having to get through complex and expensive classic software development procedures, and without the need to set out qualified people at the procedure.
The idea behind this technology is quite simple. The same way the industrial revolution was caused by the coming of machines that built machines, the CRISOPEYA Technology is a technologic jump on the software market: software applications that build other software applications, specifically, software applications that build software applications to manage information.
With classic software development procedures, the development of customized software applications to manage information required the definition of the application user requirements, and involved the work of some software engineers. So with the procedure requiring qualified people, a complex methodology and a considerable amount of time, it resulted a quite expensive procedure.
The concept of software applications building other software applications looks to translate the advantages of the industrial revolution to the software market:
- Process automatization and minimization of development time.
- Resource optimization and minimization of development cost.
- Product quality improvement and minimization of errors.
- Total availability through Internet.
The software applications built with the CRISOPEYA technology can be used to manage any kind of structured information, whatever it be.
The CRISOPEYA Technology is organized in four main components:
- Information Modules: component of the software application that holds the definition of the data and information to be managed by the software application.
- Common Platform: required component of the software applications where the different Information Modules will be installed upon.
- SEED Tool: graphic tool that allows to easily define the software application configuration and the information to be managed.
- CRISOPEYA.NET Electronic Commerce System: component where the users can acquire the customized software applications built from the user requirements defined with the SEMILLA Tool.
To manage information is mandatory to install, at least, the Common Platform and one Information Module.
Next the four main components are explained with detail.
Information Modules
The software application manages information based on the information modules definition. The Information Modules set what kind of information is going to be managed by the software application. Those modules are composed of different types of structured data, such as numeric data, text, images and other.
The CRISOPEYA technology allows the user to define as many Information Modules as wanted, to manage any kind of information, whatever it be.
Common Platform
The Common Platform is the component where all the Information Modules are installed upon. So it is a mandatory component to work with the Information Modules.
One can install the Common Platform with an standard configuration or one can customize it with the SEED Tool. Both options are available on the CRIOSPEYA.NET Electronic Commerce System.
SEED Tool
The SEED Tool is a graphic utility to define, step by step and in an structured way, the user requirements of the customized software applications. With the SEED Tool one defines the user requirements of the Common Platform and also of the Information Modules to use. This Tool guides visually and structurally the user requirements definition of the customized software applications to acquire.
This tool is free, and can be downloaded from the CRIOSPEYA.NET Electronic Commerce System.
CRIOSPEYA.NET Electronic Commerce System
CRISOPEYA.NET is an electronic commerce system thata allows users to acquire customized software applications.
CRISOPEYA.NET is composed of the following main sections:
- Build Applications
It is used to send the user requirements file generated by the SEED Tool. The system will validate the requirements file and will build the customized software application.
- SEED Tool
It is used to download the SEED Tool. There are two versions available, one for Windows operating systems, and one for other operating systems. The SEED Tool is downloaded for free.
- CRISOPEYA Platform
It is used to download the different versions of the CRISOPEYA Platform with the standard configurations pre-defined. The available pre-defined versions differ from the operating system where they will be installed upon and from the database version used.
- Information Modules
It is used to download pre-defined Information Modules. The different Information Modules available are organized by sector, functionality and language.
- Database Libraries
It is used to download the database libraries for the different databases compatible with the CRISOPEYA technology.
CRISOPEYA is compatible with the main databases available on the market.

PROCEDURE DESCRIPTION
The procedure to acquire customized software applications with this new system is quite simple:
- The user connects to CRISOPEYA.NET and send the user requirements of the customized software application to acquire.
- The system checks these requirements, and shows the price of the customized application to build.
- Finally the system builds the customized software application and makes it available for the user to download.
This guide shows step by step and with detail the procedure to acquire customized software applications with the CRISOPEYA technology and the CRISOPEYA.NET electronic commerce system.
