Mason Associates, Inc.
Leveraging our business systems knowledge with EGL
- Challenge:
- Mason Associates, Inc. is a software consulting firm that was founded in 1982 on the principles of creating rock solid business systems, primarily using native IBM languages and tools. Throughout our 27 year history we continuously evaluate new products and development tools that will enable us to more effectively deliver high quality business solutions.
- Problem:
- While the terminal environment has served us well and is still prevalent in many business applications, our new and existing clients are more frequently requesting that applications be created or rewritten with a graphical user interface. Many of the existing languages and tools available for creating a user interface tend to get in the way of development with too much time being spent on the interface instead of building the business logic which will drive the application.
- Solution:
- EGL removes the barriers to creating an effective, intuitive, database-driven user interface.
- The ease of integration with midrange systems enables us to call existing service programs. This reduces the need to rewrite programs and also separates the business logic from the user interface to create a true model-view-controller application.
