Benefits

User interfaces are time consuming to develop well, require expert development knowledge, tend to be changed frequently, and are particularly vulnerable to degeneration into spaghetti code creating a maintenance nightmare. Given these factors, it is no wonder that projects often spend over 30% of their effort on the GUI alone! With BX PRO, you will quickly deliver intuitive, effective, and robust user interfaces for even the most demanding projects.

• Speed GUI development and reduce the need for specialized expertise with the WYSIWYG development environment. Projects gain flexibility by being able to use a broader skill set of developers.
• Eliminate error prone and unmaintainable spaghetti code with the readable, maintainable, and modifiable code generated by BX PRO.
• Quickly implement changes and review them with the end users, eliminating those misunderstandings that result in lengthy delays.
