Benefits
The benefits of using Rational Business Developer include:
- Higher development productivity through the platform-neutral, business-oriented specification and a variety of rapid development tools and wizards
- Simplified Service-oriented architecture (SOA) support: The Enterprise Generation Language (EGL) language includes the notion of Service, and Rational Business Developer delivers the tools for quickly defining, testing and deploying the Service to all supported platforms, including automated Services generation from models.
- Rapid end-to-end Web application development
- Ability to deploy applications and services to a broad variety of platforms, including Java EE application servers as well as traditional mainframe transactional environments such as System z’s CICS or System i’s i5OS
- Ease of learning
- Legacy extension and modernization: EGL built-in interoperability with COBOL, RPG, PL/I or any other existing program enables reuse of existing investments into new Services or Web systems without the need for special adapters.
- Flexibility and responsiveness: The platform-neutral development approach eliminates skills silos, creating a unified pool of business-oriented developers that can be freely shifted across projects according to business demands.
