Ruby on Rails

With Rails, we get to the business logic right away. No time lost on looking for software components for things like user authentication, application configuration, exports to excel, an XML converter, etc. With the Rails framework these decisions have already been made for us! Developers immediately focus on the value adding business logic.

Also, Rails enables agile development: the gap between development and user testing is very low, iterations are very short, which allows us to rapidly switch between test and develop cycles. Feedback from the client can be taken into account immediately, and presented little time after.
RoR is an open source framework. Quite some developers contribute new pieces of code to the community, which makes it even more interesting! There are tons of free plugins on social coding sites like github.com, all focusing on tiny, little and reusable functionalities.

Web based software

At Zorros, we build web based software only. Web based software is software you use with a browser over the internet, like for example Gmail. We believe it has many advantages over traditional software:

  • No installation issues: no installation CD’s whatsoever.
  • Easy updates: we don’t have to bother our customers for installations of updates or new releases.
  • Back-ups: it’s easy to take daily backups and put them on different servers
  • Accessible: web based software is accessible for everyone from anywhere, with a web browser. Password protected of course.
  • Compatibility: no more issues here. It doesn’t matter if you use (any version of) Windows, Mac, Linux … As long as you have a browser and internet access the software will work!
