IBM software development tools

A "software development" tool can accelerate and simplify software development, allowing you to gain insight consistency in your software projects. IBM Company is investing in information management technology in response to an explosion of content in the form of digital documents, forms and multimedia. It's true because studies suggest in future the amount of digital information in the world will double every 11 hours. Therefore IBM tools have been appreciated and accepted by "software development companies in South Africa".

IBM's software is designed to function with different content servers in different locations. To prove this IBM released Web 2.0 interface designed to be the preferred front end of IBM's content management servers. The software is based on eclipse open-source technology already used in IBM's Lotus software and can run on different desk top operating systems. The client software can support Ajax programming, which means people can build interactive Web pages to access back-end systems. File Net P8 version 4 the update to the File Net content management system adds support for Java server standards and is better connected with IBM's other middleware software.

Also, IBM Rational offers industry-leading, proven software development tools and processes to improve your application development projects. The Rational architecture and construction software development tools built on Eclipse boost all aspects of software development, including model-driven or code-centric application development. These powerful tools help you manage change with requirements to code-traceability within your projects.

The latest IBM Rational team concert is based on Jazz, a technology platform for tools that will give them joint properties, such as sharing a common source code, tracking and sharing information jointly, and linking the status of finished code to the results of software testing. Also, it will be able to use Eclipse Equinox, a runtime for java applications that carries its component handling capabilities across different device environments.

To go further IBM has just launched an application that seeks to bind the power and time of visually impaired internet users around the globe. Many blind or partially sighted users run screen reading software that describes the content of a Web page but often encounter problems. The IBM software for blind users runs with Internet explorer and the jaws screen reader while the software for supporters of the project is available as a plug-in for Fire fox. It runs in English or Japanese.

Shortly IBM software development tool will keep IBM's high end, and is really competing well with Microsoft's popular Visual studio tools. That's simply great!
