Based in Uruguay, Solur is a major software development
company for the Latin American market. Truck, one of its products, is a high
capacity system for managing the complexity of product logistics and
distribution operations. Major companies across the Americas such as FritoLay
(Pepsico distributor), and many of the largest regional beverage distributors
use it. Truck is an application developed using GeneXus, the application
generation tool created by the Uruguayan company ARTech. GeneXus models a
system's logic, so the code can be generated for different
technologies.
Solur has decided to maintain the generation tool, and has
selected the Java platform on the Oracle platform as the new development
standard. An ambitious plan has been defined to achieve the full migration of
Solur to the Oracle 10g platform. The plan will be carried out in conjunction
with ARTech to guarantee that the code generator optimizes its use of the Oracle
platform. This will also give GeneXus users access to Oracle technology, thus
ensuring the best conditions for those developments that use the Oracle 10g
platform.
