Hospitals, Buses and Funeral Parlors

Button is an IT company from Catalonia (Spain) that has developed several OpenXava applications in the last years, such as a management application for Monbus.cat, a bus company (150 users), a complaints and suggestions record system for the Hospital Comarcal de l'Alt Penedès, a funeral parlor system, or a management system for IT companies, among others.

A principal developer from Button, Xavier González, says that they chose OpenXava because:

• The speed for creating a web application from Java classes, without creating the database. Just writing business logic.
• Relatively short learning curve.
• Documentation in Spanish.
• Open Source.
• Forum support with a large community in Spanish and English.
• When the default features are not enough you have the option to extend OpenXava yourself.
• Integration with JasperReports.
• Multi language.
• Multi-scheme.
• Supports for multiple databases, such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.
• With the same code, you get a mobile web application.
• Project that continually releases new versions, and incorporates improvements and fixes from users.
• To create simple application, you don't need to touch HTML, JavaScript or AJAX, just Java.
