IBM delivers the development solutions you need to be productive with development products that allow you to create, modify, test and debug applications targeted to run on an array of platforms.

IBM's software for developers helps you respond quickly to business opportunities, protect your organization's investment in existing code, solve user-demand issues, save on maintenance, evaluate and  embrace new technologies, and produce quality applications on the fly.

Visual tools like VisualAge for Smalltalk, VisualAge C++ and VisualGen let you easily build applications that run faster than ever. Network tools keep your whole development team moving forward as one. Object oriented breakthroughs ensure that development efforts are never duplicated, that every insight is applied across all platforms and inherited by all of its successors.

IBM development solutions focus on tools that address the implementation of open client/server computing through applications using object-oriented technology, IBM software for multiple IBM and non-IBM platforms, and stronger linkages to IBM's robust data management products -- DB2 and IMS.
