Java Pro 2003 Enterprise Buyer's Guide
Before you make those difficult purchasing decisions for your enterprise, take a look at our comprehensive buyer's guide
by the Editors of Java Pro
October 2003 Issue
When deciding on software purchases, you no doubt want a measurable return on your investment, not to mention better efficiency for developing and deploying your Java applications. There are a lot of options and points to consider in the current marketplace, and software vendors are doing whatever it takes to offer your enterprise appealing products that provide streamlined life-cycle management and features that simplify code building and project development enhancements.
Determining what you need can be complex, especially when projecting dynamics for the future. You'll likely need to assess your development life cycle, it's evolution, possible changes in vendor selection, changing project requirements, or training curves for your developers. Suppose your budget is limited? Maybe there are open source and low-cost options that might be more attractive, particularly while weathering a sluggish economy. Whether open source or inexpensive products versus a more expensive commercial product—or something in between—is the right direction for your enterprise, a single-source reference can certainly help.
The editors of Java Pro have put together a comprehensive resource that lists hundreds of Java development and deployment products organized by category and arranged alphabetically by vendor within categories. All the products in this Java Pro 2003 Enterprise Buyer's Guide are included in the Product Catalog on the Fawcette Technical Publications Web site. The Product Catalog provides longer product descriptions. This buyer's guide provides a thorough accounting of the latest products from IDEs to application servers, modeling tools to EAIs, reporting tools to optimization tools, components to distributed applications, and more.
In addition, we provide contact information for each vendor. We urge you to contact vendors for up-to-date pricing options before comparing products. While FTP's intent is to provide the most accurate and comprehensive information possible, the manufacturers are ultimately responsible for the accuracy of data and product claims. We encourage you to contact them for further information. Please e-mail any additions or corrections to this buyer's guide to
We hope this Java Pro 2003 Enterprise Buyer's Guide gives you a practical resource for investing in the software that will best meet your organization's needs.
