Case Study: Appeon Savings
Just spending one week, one PowerBuilder engineer implemented the
PetShop blueprint application of Microsoft .NET, which took two .NET
engineers four weeks to develop.
Appeon is able to implement
the same .NET application with
1/4 of the lines of code;
1/4 of the time;
1/8 of the cost.
