Artech has launched the Release Candidate (RC) of the tenth version of GeneXus, which facilitates the expansion of business knowledge to Web 2.0 due to an intuitive development environment, greater collaboration among developers and extended ability to integrate various technologies. 

GeneXus is an intelligent tool for the automatic creation, development and maintenance of mission critical, multi-platform applications that can adapt to business changes or to technological advances.

GeneXus is a tool that captures the knowledge contained in users' views and systematizes it in a pure Knowledge Base, which makes it possible to generate applications for multiple platforms and architectures. For example, a GeneXus user can take advantage of the knowledge generated a decade ago to create a program on AS/400 and reuse it in new applications based on Java or .Net.

The basic idea behind GeneXus is to automate everything that can be automated. Based on users' requirements, it automatically maintains the database and the application code, without any programming. 

Thus, the analyst or developer can focus on the business and on the aspects that a program will never be able to do: understand the user’s problems. In addition, system maintenance costs and development times are significantly reduced.

To create Web 2.0 applications, developers have to be skilled on the latest Web technologies. With GeneXus, this task is simplified since the developer can focus on describing business requirements, without the need to have programming language skills or to integrate them for optimal performance.

GeneXus also has a low learning curve because of its high degree of usability and its intuitive, customizable development environment. In addition, as part of the enhanced user experience, the tenth version of GeneXus allows for greater collaboration among members of the development team and for the possibility of extending your Knowledge Base with that of third parties.

GeneXus is a strategic partner of Microsoft, IBM and Oracle. It has over 50,000 users worldwide who actively participate in the GeneXus Community, in which they share experiences, pose their problems and obtain answers through GXtechnical, technical forums, wikis, blogs and the beta testers program.
