Wells Fargo bank was on an acquisition binge, found itself with 25 completely disjointed systems, and needed an application to merge them. Its initial request was for an enterprise model in C++ with the detail work performed in the backend of the middle-tier object server. Productivity gains persuaded bank managers to use the Java solution. The application was up and running in 60 percent of the allotted time.
"Java has become the language for providing platform independence. It is the new model for network architecture," says Rose Hsu, who cofounded Future Presence, a Java consulting firm, with me. "Using Java's comprehensive class libraries, developers have found that design-to-implementation time has decreased significantly.... Java's robust backend platform and object-orientation make it the best solution."
And according to Harvey Gand, principal of Lloyd/Harvey, an Internet management consulting firm, "Java delivers. Our clients require maximum application-development-dollar return with minimum risk and immediate payback. Java delivers the portable business systems in the least time and cost with the most implementation flexibility. It's the answer to contemporary business application needs."
Conclusion
Java is fast, flexible, and secure, and it is used in many corporations today. Do not get left behind. Developers will enhance productivity by taking advantage of the latest Java technology and tools. In my next column, I will discuss Java's place in the exploding Net economy -- beyond Y2K.
