Orange & Bronze Partners with SpringSource to Boost Software Initiatives


Orange & Bronze Software Labs recently made an innovative move to boost its software initiatives by becoming the first Filipino software company to partner with SpringSource.

SpringSource is the lead provider of the popular Spring framework—the phenomenal application framework that revolutionized Java enterprise software development by reducing complexity and making systems integrate easier.

"Spring is at the core of almost every system built and currently being built by Orange & Bronze. We are actually a pioneer in Spring development." Legaspi explained.

Orange & Bronze currently provides software consulting services for a number of industry-leading clients in the US, Europe and Asia. In 2006, the Spring framework has won a prestigious Jolt Productivity Award for simplifying and integrating various components such as Hibernate, JMS, JMX, and AOP.

It is well-supported by major Integrated Development Environments such as Eclipse, Netbeans and IntelliJ. With this partnership in place, Orange & Bronze is able to strengthen its positioning as the premier provider of Spring and Spring-based technologies like AppFuse and Grails. Orange & Bronze Chief Executive Officer Calen Legaspi notes how the company's software architects have long been using the Spring framework to run various software development projects.

"Orange & Bronze was among the early adapters of the Spring framework. We have always found it to be a significant tool in revolutionizing Java enterprise development because it greatly improved productivity, maintainability, and flexibility of enterprise Java systems." Legaspi said. "It has quickly become a popular system among Java developers and made a huge impact on the current Java EE standard as it cuts down complexities in developing mission-critical enterprise applications."

Among the biggest projects that Orange & Bronze have developed through the Spring framework are a medical billing system for Houston-based medical billing company, a comprehensive life-insurance management system, and a specialized payroll system for the entertainment industry. Legaspi also notes how using the Spring framework becomes an important advantage from their clients end.

“Spring is a very a flexible framework and it can be easily integrated with other systems. It enables systems to be built faster and become more maintainable. It also allows changes to be implemented smoothly, as needed.”
