Borland Delphi Application Development

The Best Tool for Best Results

First released in 1995, Delphi has found widespread use in production of both enterprise and end user applications. Delphi, for example, was used to develop the Skype telephony based application. It is used by more than 30,000,000 users on a daily basis for voice communication of the Internet.

Delphi presents businesses with several advantages when developing applications:

• Delphi produces fast compiled executables. Unlike interpreter based applications (produced by Java, .Net and Visual Basic), Delphi applications execution speed is comparable to applications developed in C.
• Applications developed in Delphi consume much less memory when compared to interpreter based applications.
• The combination of execution speed and memory consumption makes Delphi produced applications ideal for small to medium businesses that have a conservative PC upgrade strategy.
• Generally, Delphi compiled applications produce a single executable. These are easy to deploy as there is less reliance on middleware. No need to worry about deploying runtime environments .Net 1, 1.1, 2, 3? JRE 1.4, 1.5, 1.6? Visual Basic Runtime 5, 6?
• Delphi applications are able to natively communicate with databases without middleware such as ODBC. Natively supported databases include: Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, Interbase/Firebird, MySQL, PostgreSQL.
• Although Delphi produces Windows win32 based applications, it is not limited to this platform (unlike .Net based solutions for example). In many instances Delphi compiled applications can run under Linux and Intel based Apple workstations with the aid of Wine (an open source Windows API wrapper).
• Delphi boosts development speed by supporting concepts of software re-use (through components), object oriented development and visual form inheritance. These combined make Delphi an ideal platform to rapidly and reliable develop applications.

What Does This Mean To You?

• We develop and deliver applications quickly.
• We produce reliable applications with built in bug reporting facilities that aids us in pinpointing any issues.
• We develop applications than run on Windows and Linux platforms.
