ApacheCon EU 2014

The ""build more"" in this case means building line-of-business enterprise applications, the stuff that's the operational heart of your organisation.

And the ""with less"" means less resources, in other words in less time, with fewer developers, faster time to market.

But the ""how"" is the interesting bit. In 2012 Jeroen approached Dan with a problem... he wanted to write a bespoke application for his client, a European multi-billion property management company that operates over 60 shopping malls. For various reasons, Jeroen wanted to explore whether Apache Isis could be used as the platform on which to build a bespoke replacement.

Fast forward two years and Estatio (also open source) is in production, and it took about 2 man years (Jeroen and Dan, part-time) to write. We don't think there's a Java framework out there to match Isis for productivity. Let us fill in the blanks.
