Riebens Systems and PC Soft have renewed their agreement under which Riebens Systems will market and support the PC Soft WinDev range of products in southern Africa.
Says Ben Dell, owner of Riebens Systems: "The Windev products is the only suite of products currently in the market that allows companies to cut costs in catering for the exploding amount of computing and presentation platforms.
"From one codebase, a developer can build native applications for Windows, Linux, iOS, Android, Windows Phone, Windows Mobile, Pocket PC and Windows CE, and also compile code to Win32, Win64, .Net, Java, PHP and xCode, to name a few.
"The cost saving in not having to build a different app for each platform is staggering, not just in monetary terms, but also support and future upgradability."
"In South Africa's skills shortage economy, it makes sense to look at tools that allow faster time to market, natively, on the widest range of platforms with the minimum of effort."

PC Soft
PC Soft was started in 1984 and specialises in the design of professional development tools for Internet, intranet, Windows, Linux, Unix, Android, Windows Phone 7 and iOS.
PC Soft has been following its vision of making high-technology tools available to a wide population.
PC Soft's first best-seller was a screen generator called HI SCREEN (10 000 copies sold in the US). On the strength of the experience gained from this tool, which sold tens of thousands of copies worldwide, PC Soft then created WINDEV, a Windows-based Computer Aided Software Environment (IDE & ALM suite), which is the most complete and the easiest to use.
Over 120 000 professional developers have already adopted WINDEV, and millions of applications made using WINDEV are currently being used worldwide.
