Java Applications:
Although we've only been using Java for several years, a
solid grounding in C and C++ has allowed us to get quickly
up to speed with this new software development platform.
We have delivered several business applications in Java and
are pleased with the robustness and time-to-deliver for
these projects. One of these applications interacts with
Microsoft Office to create and manage documents and
spreadsheets and proves that Java can be usefully applied
to business systems.
We have also invested in technology that allows us to deliver
Java applications as standard Windows executables so that our
clients don't have to know anything about Java - they just
drop in the CD and run the install. This sort of pre-packaged
delivery is important to reduce the cost of IT support for our
clients and it's something we looked into carefully before
accepting Java as a useful tool for delivery of business
systems.
