Northeastern PA software developer Geoff Speicher was looking for an easier way to build applications for customers. The tool he came up with, Pario, is now available to the general public. Hydro4GE, the Scranton company that released it, is giving developers a chance to try Pario for free during a 30-day trial.
Pario eliminates the need to write numerous lines of code, saving thousands of hours that would otherwise go to coding and debugging software. Developers who use Pario still have to spend some time on coding, but have much more free time to focus on their projects. “There’s no bugs because you didn’t write any code,” says Geoff’s brother, Tim Speicher, VP of marketing at Hydro4GE. “You can’t create buggy software.”
Pario is best suited for database systems. Hydro4GE’s sister company, Software Engineering Associates, has quite a few clients that need to keep track of inventory, customer lists and the like.
About six people work full-time for Hydro4GE and Software Engineering Associates, with most of their business coming from software and Web development. Speicher says their hope is to transition into a focus on designing and selling products. The launch of Pario is one step toward that.
