WaveMaker Closes The Business/IT Gap
The shift to rich internet applications has widened the gap between what business people want and what IT can deliver. In the past, productivity tools like Visual Basic helped build client/server applications quickly. Today, there are no equivalent tools for the web.
WaveMaker closes this gap, enabling more people to quickly build and deploy great looking web applications. WaveMaker is the PowerBuilder for Web 2.0.
The Business-IT Gap Is Getting Worse
Business people are not getting what they need from IT. Whether projects are in-house or out-sourced, there are three fundamental gaps between business and IT:
-
Visualization gap: Written specs don't work. Business people need to "test drive" a working application prototype to confirm it meets their needs.
Productivity gap: IT delivery must accelerate time to business value. IT providers need to compress project delivery time from months down to weeks.
Maintenance gap: Business changes require IT agility. Business people need a process for modifying applications quickly and cost effectively.
