Tewksbury,
MA – August
3, 2004 – Bowstreet™,
a leading
provider of development
tools for
adaptive
J2EE applications,
announced
that Vormittag
Associates,
Inc. (VAI),
a leader in enterprise
solutions
for
the distribution,
manufacturing
and retail
industries, has
licensed
Bowstreet
Framework Factory
as part
of its
J2EE development
platform.
“
Bowstreet
Framework Factory
will allow us
to build and
deploy highly
tailored portlets
in a fraction
of the time it
would take using
manual J2EE coding
techniques,” said
Todd Endsley,
director of e-business
solutions, VAI. “The
key advantage
is that Framework
Factory provides
adaptive software
components called
Builders that
automatically
generate Java
code and provide
flexible connections
to back-end business
processes and
data. I am confident
that Bowstreet
Framework Factory
will give us
a very robust
application development
framework that
automatically
produces and
transforms application
code dynamically
for true on-demand
delivery of customized
applications.”
“
One of
the most pressing
challenges faced
by ISVs, such
as VAI, is the
need to customize
or adapt their
software to meet
the unique needs
of each customer.
Each time the
software is tailored
for a new customer,
another one-off
version of the
software is created.
Building and
maintaining one-off
software variations
may work for
the first few
customers, but
ultimately this
approach doesn’t
scale,” said
Steve Ricketts,
VP of marketing,
Bowstreet. “Framework
Factory enables
companies like
VAI to overcome
this problem
through the use
of Bowstreet’s
patented profiling
technology, which
allows ISVs to
quickly generate
multiple portlet
variants from
a single source
model.”
Bowstreet
Framework Factory
delivers the
timesavings of
traditional RAD
tools, plus provides
the added benefits
of rapid and
easy integration
and customization.
Using Framework
Factory, companies
have reduced
development time
and costs by
approximately
50 percent. This
extraordinary
reduction in
development time
changes the traditional
ratio of design
to development
days from 1:1
to 10:1, and
enables companies
to deliver custom
enhancements
in days, rather
than months.
