Build Anew!


BASIS hosted TechCon2009 on September 27-29 at the Marriott Albuquerque. In keeping with the theme “Build Anew,” attendees discovered ways to create new solutions with BASIS application building blocks, reinvigorate existing graphical applications, and quickly transform outdated CUI apps to GUI.

"...thank you for the wonderful job you did at TechCon. The new technology you previewed is very exciting and you should be very proud of the people involved who made it a reality. "

"...this was the best conference you have put on...what you are doing with both BBj and Addon exceeded my expectations."
