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
