Our box of Lego pieces

Modular and reusable code components are building blocks of any IT system. We have developed our own set.

What is Riskpoint framework?

Most IT systems have similar functional requirements used in different contexts. To avoid re-inventing the wheel, most developers organise their code into modular, reusable components ("a framework").

We created our own set that best fits our working practices and projects. Here are the broad strokes:

Set of integrated functional and visual code components
Standardized folders, files and code structure
Based on interlinked functional modules
Reusable code pieces range from entire modules to UI widgets (tables, menus, forms)
Extended by a number of specialist open-source plugins
Live integrations with various web-services
Variety of outputs

Our framework is written in PHP and works on all common server configurations.

Key differentials

There are many PHP frameworks for web-developement - we looked at them all: Zend, CakePHP, CodeIgniter, Symfony - to name some. All of these are excellent toolkits used by developers world-wide in building top-notch applications and websites. So why bother creating our own? Here are some of our framework features and why we use it:

Our framework is a set of Integrated visual and functional components evolved through years of coding diverse data-management applications
We thought long and hard about the balance between the functional and visual components; all-encompassing and specific code; code abstraction and development speed
Our code is designed to enable rapid development process and continuous evolution
We have used it in very diverse projects: websites, data-management, computational and graphical systems
