Features and Benef
Today's highly competitive business landscape demands quick time-
to-market. The faster; the better! This rule applies both to
enterprises and ISVs. If you are an organization looking to either
transport the current on-premise solution to the
web, or build a new web based solution by using
JAVA as a core development platform; you might
just negate the above stated rule.
Developing web applications in JAVA,
traditionally, forces the developers to assemble
and maintain deployment units, along with
configuring and maintaining environments and
frameworks during the entire development life
cycle. This eats up a significant share of
developer's time which could have been usedsingularly in building more functionalities rather than maintaining
the ecosystem to support the development. You would agree- JAVA
based web development is notoriously tedious.
Therefore, with a strong foot holding in application developm
services for global clients, Sigma Infosolutions offers its expertise
GRAILS for accelerated web application development. GRAILS is
open-source web framework for JAVA platform, wh
through its core principle of 'convention o
configuration' allows organizations to fasten t
development time by a staggering 30%.
By leveraging our development outfit in Bangalo
India and GRAILs for web application developme
organizations can not only have highly qua
applications in a quick turn-around time but also en
almost 30% cost savings. Talk about immedia
