The industry's first development environment to include modeling, data management, services assembly and orchestration, Java development, and mobilization in a single tool, WorkSpace lets developers quickly build and deliver many different kinds of applications from event- and data-driven programs to composite, model-driven, and mobile apps. Applications developed with Sybase WorkSpace can also leverage heterogeneous infrastructures, including those based on J2EE, .NET, and legacy applications.
