PRO-IV excels in the Fourth Generation Language market for the following reasons: Application Deployment, Client/Server Configurations, Investment Protection.
Portability and Scaleability:
Business applications written in PRO-IV are portable across a wide variety of hardware platforms, databases and operating environments. Their proven scalability ensures extremely high transaction rates while supporting large numbers of users
Platforms:
Applications written in PRO-IV are operating environment independent. As the requirements of the enterprise change (Operating Systems, hardware platforms, databases), the application itself can remain the same. This protects the
initial investment made in the development of the application. With PRO-IV, the application developer’s skills are also portable. The same PRO-IV development environment is available on all platforms, therefore the developer working
on a PC application is also capable of working on a mainframe application.
