Development teams maintaining large-scale, model-driven business applications that need consistency, scalability, and multi-platform delivery

About Broadcom Gen

Gen is a single, integrated development environment that enables teams to create and maintain large-scale business applications for multiple platforms. It helps organizations respond quickly and effectively to a changing business environment, manage applications throughout the development lifecycle, and protect enterprise investments in core business systems. Gen supports model-driven development, allowing teams to define business logic and application behavior at a higher level of abstraction, then generate code that can run across mainframe, distributed, and other supported platforms. It is designed for high-performance, scalable enterprise applications and helps reduce the complexity of building and maintaining mission-critical systems. Gen supports analysis, design, construction, testing, deployment, and maintenance from a common environment, helping development teams improve consistency and productivity across complex application portfolios.
