An Incredible Productivity-Enhancer
Developers are unanimous in their praise for the real-life benefits of
Active4D.
"We are into heavy B2B web solutions and could not do business without this
tool," said Alexander Heintz. Among Heintz' clients using Active4D for
their enterprise solutions are Bertelsmann and Canon Europe.
"I was able to do in 4 weeks what took me 6 months of effort using the
middleware solution. In addition, several technical hurdles I was planning
on dealing with simply disappeared," said Randy Jaynes of Management
Software. "I would estimate we have saved literally hundreds of hours by
using Active4D."
