See How the Ease of Programming Provided by Microsoft Visual Basic Helped GMAC Realize Its Critical Time-to-Market Goals

Overview Providing a streamlined process and keeping up with rapid growth are driving issues at GMACCM. With very few legacy systems in place, it faced the opportunity-and the challenge-of building its computer environment virtually from the ground up. Developing a streamlined flow system to speed the processing of lending services would be a critical marker for the company's success. GMACCM has based its entire architecture on Microsoft products. The primary application, GMACCM Warehouse, is written in Microsoft Visual Basic development system. The latest version utilizes User Documents to facilitate Web-style application delivery to the desktop, with the Document-Objects acting as hosts for the user-process-based User Controls.
