The Studio is suited for both technical and non-technical people looking to optimize their SharePoint 2010 experience.

Dan Beall, product manager at ComponentOne stated that, "The key to our Web Parts is Microsoft Silverlight. SharePoint 2010 has deep support for Silverlight and our Web Parts are also based on Silverlight. This technology enables us to provide a point-and-click designer for creating views, great performance, and maximum interactivity." He explained that a user may navigate through any SharePoint site, select a source (SharePoint list or Business Connectivity Services), and create interactive data-based portals.
