MBS is one of the largest suppliers of textbooks and learning materials for higher education in the United States. It was founded in 1909, dealing in school furniture and teacher supplies. Today, more than 100 years after its establishment, it has proprietary applications that have become essential to its day-to-day business activities.

“Our applications are data-centric and involve transactions. GeneXus makes that data available for developers to use in an easy, fast, and consistent manner,” explains Dave Easton, Vice President of Information Systems at MBS.

That ease of use also makes the learning curve much shorter. “For projects developed in other platforms, we estimate a production time of between 4 and 6 months, while developments made with GeneXus only take a couple of weeks,” says Mr. Easton.
