Vaakya launched

Vaakya, a Bangalore based technology firm, has announced the launch of its technology platform and scripting language VAAKYA to build, test and deploy enterprise software applications. Vaakya has been developed entirely in-house in Bangalore after R&D conducted over nearly three years. The beta version of Vaakya Business Application Framework developed on this platform has been released. The goal of this project was to simplify the design, coding and deployment of enterprise software applications. Software vendors developing applications on Vaakya can reduce turnaround time to go to market and deliver software applications across various models namely standalone, client-server (LAN or Web) as well as SaaS (software as a service).

The beta version offers a complete integrated suite of infrastructure and framework components. This includes IDE (integrated development environment), database, Web application server; graphics engine, communications interface, and client / server components, all in a tiny footprint of less than 1.5 MB.

The framework claims to be compatible with Windows, Linux and FreeBSD and can be used on Desktop PCs, servers and handheld devices such as PDAs and mobile phones.

A 45-day trial of the framework is available at www.vaakya.com.

Developers, programmers, architects and technology enthusiasts may find it worth their while to evaluate it.
