General Information

In a fast-moving world where IS organizations struggle to meet spiraling demands for new mission-critical applications, component-based software is the answer for building and deploying applications…on time, on budget, with less hassle. Components have emerged as the new software development paradigm for corporations who need fast development of reliable applications. By leveraging parts of existing applications and systems, combined with easily manageable pieces of software, delivery cycles are dramatically cut for deployment and budgets stay intact.

Component-based software technology is revolutionizing the way developers think about software. It’s changing the way applications are created, revised and used. Development teams and IS organizations can't afford to contract experts for every new application request or upgrade. But now, by integrating component software in their projects, development teams can purchase the "expertise" of the best programmers in the world and plug-in a proven, tested multi-platform software architecture.
