Team Developer Business Advantages
Applications that need to meet today’s complex business needs should
be based on central business objects to allow you to quickly react to new application
requirements.
Key benefits of using Team Developer include:
Fast RAD development to save development cost
The major cost position in software development is the cost of development
personnel. Team Developer can cut development time by factory, which translates
into very high cost savings in development projects. This is equally important
for internal application development in corporations where the shorter development
cycle allows completing more projects in less time. This also benefits ISVs
who can develop their applications faster and then market their applications
at prices below the competition, thus gaining a major competitive advantage.
Save development cost by leveraging existing Team Developer code
Converting the business logic of the application into a COM+ object can leverage
existing investments in Team Developer projects. This can save up to 90% of
your development time and cost compared to developing COM+ objects from start.
The more structured the existing source code is, the easier is the conversion
to COM+ objects.
Leverage existing investments for Web and mobile applications
Many corporations have large investments in client/server application code.
It would be nice if development tools could allow you to leverage the existing
investments to create new Web and mobile applications. Team Developer COM+ support
allows you to leverage existing client/server code to be used for distributed
business objects.
Integrate all your development investments using Web Services
Team Developer and Web Services combined is a great way of controlling the
existing investments made into Java business objects and making the business
logic available as easy to use Windows Desktop applications or Web applications.
Save maintenance and deployment cost
Maintaining Windows desktop applications is a cost intensive task. Every desktop
has to be touched when pushing updates. Using the distributed COM+ application
model, the maintenance cost of Windows applications can be reduced drastically.
Central business logic can be updated on just one server and is immediately
available to all users.
