VBUC helps Freeway move a mission critical project
"For Freeway, the ability to migrate our eZway application to .NET represented a mission critical project, for which we required a true business partner with the knowledge, technology and experience that guaranteed the success of this process. Mobilize.Net without a doubt was this partner, offering world class technology supported by an extraordinary team that saw beyond our technical requirements and into our business necessities."
eZway is Freeway Development Corporation's main product. eZway is a development tool that speeds up the process of generating distributed applications based on a three tier architecture. It functions through a spiral development methodology, iterative and incremental. eZway assists and automates the various stages of system development:
Initially, eZway was developed in VB 6.0 to generate Visual Basic 6.0 and ASP codes. Then Freeway saw in Microsoft's new .NET platform an opportunity to provide new functionality, security and flexibility both for its eZway product as well as for the product's users.
"Taking a tool as complex as eZway to the .NET framework, and making it the first to generate Visual Basic .NET code, became an obsession for Freeway. However, to do so by traditional means would have implied many months of programming, which would have prevented us from achieving our goal of being pioneers in .NET technology."
"Mobilize.Net has worked in the software migration field since 1993, developing innovative modernization methodologies that have helped us become the industry leader. Our core service is to break down the technological barriers that constraint the application growth, and to enable its continued evolution. Companies seldom update their technology over the years, but each time they have to develop the specific skills necessary to succeed. These skills are no longer needed once the upgrade is complete, and the application has been transferred to the new technological paradigm. Since its inception, Mobilize.Net's rationale has been to specialize in this modernization process, allowing the experience generated by upgrading millions of lines of existing code to be leveraged in the service we offer to each of our customers."
Freeway Development Corporation is oriented towards the constant search for new technologies and tools that allow the optimization of the development, implementation and maintenance of applications. Freeway was established in 1997 with the aim of developing a tool that developers could use to create applications for use in both local networks and the Internet without multiplying programming efforts. This is why Freeway has incorporated a development methodology that synthesizes the best analysis and design currents for building object-oriented software.
