Four J`s has recently announced the release of Genero, where the emphasis is on letting the developers build applications, rather than focusing on technical detail of databases, operating systems and user interfaces.
Craig Dawson, Four J`s country manager for SA, believes Genero will be well accepted by developers. "It gives developers an opportunity to become more involved in the business, while offering the users the flexibility of running the application across multiple platforms. Our resellers and users are very excited by the new product and a number of them attended the launch in the UK last month."
The IT environment continues to change rapidly so it becomes more critical to use a tool that is portable. Genero caters for multiple platforms, including Linux. Most users today want a tool that will integrate into their existing applications, as it is no longer financially viable to rewrite entire systems. By using Web services, applications developed with Genero can seamlessly communicate in real-time with applications written in other languages and exchange data between heterogeneous environments.
Four J`s motto is "return to simplicity" and it has certainly proved that with Genero. Business Development Language (BDL) is a powerful, yet easy to learn language that compiles into efficient and portable code.
Gordon Young, Vice-President for Four J`s EMEA region, said: "Genero delivers a return on investment that few other tools can match. We have provided an environment for developers, enabling them to rapidly develop applications for high-performance, data-driven environments."
Launched in 1995, Four J`s has its corporate headquarters in London with offices throughout Europe, the US, Asia Pacific and Latin America. Four J`s is privately held with more than two million users, 5 000 developers and thousands of VARs worldwide.
