The significant costs of rewriting applications to accomodate multiple platforms and a growing user base can pose severe threats to the bottom line.

Gain and maintain a competitive edge with solutions that deliver full scalability, maximized productivity, and the ability to deliver distributed Pure Java applications.

When platform-independent portability is promised, it must be delivered--seamlessly and reliably. JBuilder offers the most comprehensive set of visual tools for creating truly portable, 100% Pure Java(TM) distributed applications. JBuilder makes it possible for organizations to create applications once and deploy, manage, and update them in any computing environment.

JBuilder is the Java development solution for leading companies such as NationsBank, Daiwa Securities, and MicroAge. These and other corporations are currently using JBuilder to deliver robust business applications, while bridging disparate platforms and complex corporate databases.

JBuilder provides a unique combination of features that sets it apart from its competition as the tool of choice for delivering platform-independent business and database applications, distributed Enterprise applications, and JavaBean components, on time and on budget.

Pure portability

Organizations need to know that once they build an application, they can swiftly deploy it across all platforms. JBuilder is the only Java development solution that delivers on the platform-independence promise of Java. While other development tools use proprietary extensions, compromising the true platform benefits of Java, JBuilder generates applications that are truly portable by adhering to the Pure Java standard. Your organization benefits by being able to create applications once and then run them on all computing platforms.

Enhanced productivity

For a technology to deliver the highest return on investment, it must significantly increase developers' productivity, thereby slashing costly development time. The comprehensive tool set in JBuilder provides rapid application development solutions that help Java developers create Java applications in a fraction of the time.

With JBuilder, developers will deliver robust Java applications in less time than ever before.

Scalable for future growth

You want to be sure that the systems you set up today can be easily expanded to accommodate a growing user base tomorrow. Organizations that excel at managing and acting on an ever-growing volume of corporate data gain a competitive advantage. The scalability of JBuilder ensures that your system will prevail as new demands are placed on it.

Working together, the Pure Java DataExpress architecture and industry-standard JDBC connectivity enable developers to create enterprise applications that integrate with any database server in your organization's heterogeneous environment. A broad spectrum of data-aware JavaBeans paves the way to sophisticated database applications. JBuilder is the Java tool of choice for building scalable enterprise applications.

Distributed computing: A competitive advantage

With JBuilder, your organization can reap the many benefits of distributed applications, including zero-administration clients, improved performance, greater scalability, fail-over safety, easier deployment, and lower costs. JBuilder simplifies the process of developing distributed business applications using Java. JBuilder gives developers an integrated development environment for building, testing, and deploying distributed applications based on CORBA or RMI. JBuilder is designed to make it easy to build and deploy Pure Java applications on the client, the middle tier, and the server.
