Computer Associates International, Inc. (CA) has announced the latest release of COOL:Gen 6.0, CA`s proven application development environment solution that enables rapid design, deployment and maintenance of scalable eBusiness enterprise applications.
Major new features include Web-client enablement and integration with CA`s Jasmineii eBusiness platform, allowing companies to reduce their Web development costs and speed the time-to-market for Web-based applications. COOL:Gen 6.0`s broad features and ability to support highly complex information architectures - including legacy COBOL code - ensures that even the largest organizations can quickly transform their existing "bricks-and-mortar" IT operations into powerful eBusinesses.
In addition to streamlining the integration of COBOL applications into Web-based development, COOL:Gen 6.0 extends the communications capabilities of applications beyond standard synchronous connectivity to embrace Web, wireless, and other emerging standards. COOL:Gen also employs advanced visualization techniques to simplify interface design and component integration - thereby boosting the productivity of development teams.
Additionally, the component-based development (CBD) methodology in COOL:Gen 6.0 promotes the structured use and sharing of design models and reusable software components, making it easier for organizations to efficiently manage complex development efforts across teams of developers.
Using COOL:Gen, developers can quickly produce complex eBusiness applications that support both traditional GUI and Web-based clients, while maximizing efficiency and component reuse across multiple development projects. Integration with Jasmineii ensures that online business processes can flow seamlessly and securely among organizations and their partners and suppliers. COOL:Gen also provides the analytical facilities necessary to track and analyze business activity across those online processes. CA is offering a unique solution for quickly building comprehensive eBusiness applications that can measure, monitor, and predict key business outcomes.
