Visual WebGui helps Quebec apps firm cut down development time

Building Web-based applications can cause great demand on a company's servers, often creating network bottlenecks which mean costly delays for development teams.

Symbiose Technologies, a Quebec-based data processing application builder however manage to dramatically cut development schedules with the help of a development tool from a Tel Aviv company.

The Visual WebGui open source development platform from Gizmox enables Symbiose developers to deliver assignments much faster by reducing the number of lines they must write for each project, according to Martin Dube, head of Symbiose.

...Dube said the Visual WebGui (VWG) comes with a library of tools which facilitates easier creation and manipulation of rich Web forms. "But VWG's main advantage is performance," he said. "Wow. The pages load so fast."

Symbiose designs and develops acquisition data software packages for mobile technologies. Before using VWG, the company used traditional asp.net transactional applications.

Dube said these apps were hampered by slow response times, awkward interfaces and server postback. He said this meant his production team often invested days or weeks in coding.

"Our applications were pretty rich and asp.net didn't allow us to achieve all the goals we were planning," he said. When Symbiose switched to VWG in 2007, developers were able to deliver projects that used to take weeks in a matter of days because of the tool's mechanism.
