We dedicate this section of our website to LANSA and their technologies that we have made a business out of working with and enhancing even further. Until recently, Surround Technologies was a LANSA Partner (reseller) and Beta test site with a long history of developmental firsts. We were solely focused on the LANSA environment.
Surround’s line of Development Tools grew out of the holes and limitation that existed within the LANSA product line, some of which persist still today. And if you are seeking the pinnacle of productivity in LANSA development, look no further than our Accelerator Development Solutions.
In recent years we have seen the need, often prompted by the requirements of our Clients, to look beyond what could be achieved with LANSA alone. Consequently, we’ve become not only LANSA experts, but also somewhat of an authority on alternative solutions and complements to the product. These solutions include new products from Surround and/or third parties, and have spawned new Partnerships. These alternative strategies may fit where LANSA does not provide best-in-class functionality or perhaps make sense in a shop that wishes to diversify their technology portfolio or limit their exposure to any single vendor or proprietary technology.
In fact, many of our Clients value our independent view and market perspective and lean on us for making future strategy decisions. We’d be pleased to extend that service to your organization. In the following section pages, you’ll find …
Are you ready to accelerate your LANSA development and get the most out of your LANSA Investment. Surround are the Premier LANSA Experts and can show you how.
Surround Technologies tools and expertise with Visual LANSA have been used for everything from small quick projects to the largest LANSA based system ever built. If you are developing in Visual LANSA, then take a look at how we accelerate those efforts.
Surround Technologies was the first company to develop a Web Application using LANSA's Web Application Modules or WAMS. The application was put into production a few weeks before LANSA released it for General Availability. Then we were the first to deliver a WAM based application framework. Needless to say, we know a lot about WAMs.
If you have been developing in VLF or RAMP for a while oor are fairly new to it, we can help you improve upon those development efforts, saving you significant time and money as well as a bit of aggravation. You may think that the tools you have are all that is available. They're not. Don't Struggle through it. There are more and better ways to get the job done right.
