Dynamic Application Assembly (DAA), the foundation of AlphaBlox Enlighten, allows corporations to quickly assemble and deliver analytical applications without coding. DAA significantly reduces the software development cycle with a simple "Lego-like" approach where building blocks -- Blox -- are literally snapped together on a Web page creating an interactive analytical application that can be accessed through any Java capable Web browser.

AlphaBlox Enlighten consists of three parts:

• Ready-to-Use Java Building Blox that can be assembled into analytical applications without coding;
• InterBlox, the Dynamic Application Assembly framework that handles communications, cooperation and control of the Blox; and
• BASE, The Blox Analysis Server that enables IS centralized maintenance and administration of AlphaBlox Enlighten applications.
