WaveMaker, a provider of open source tools for rapid Web application development, today announced that Mavirroco Consulting has successfully built and deployed an open source Web directory and content management system for the Medical College of Tarijas using WaveMaker Visual Ajax Studio. The new internal Web application, called “ColMed,” allows doctors to securely share contact information, schedules, events and even collect payments.

Designed by Mavirroco Consulting President and Informatics Engineer Manuel Rodriguez Coria, the standards-based application was built with an estimated eighty percent less code and delivered in a record two weeks-a third of the time required when compared with traditional .net tools. WaveMaker’s intuitive interface and built-in tutorial allowed Mavirroco to quickly navigate the visual development environment to create the WaveMaker-generated application. In addition to the benefits of ease and speed of development, the application was also easily integrated with the Medical College’s existing role-based security system because WaveMaker deploys the application as a Java WAR file onto an existing Apache Tomcat server. With 80 percent less code than comparable applications, ColMed will also be much easier to maintain.

“I wanted to build my application with a reliable Ajax framework such as Dojo, but knew I could not learn the ins and outs of the Dojo toolkit or use Eclipse and still deliver the project in a timely manner,” said Manual Rodriguez Coria. “After reviewing the best available open source products and frameworks, my firm won this project because of the rapid development time and lower cost projections that I could deliver using WaveMaker Visual Ajax Studio.”
