HPD Software, a leader in specialist software for the world-wide Factoring and Invoice Discounting market, selected the DYNASTY Development Environment for the redevelopment of its world-leading I-FACTOR system. I-FACTOR was built in 1986 and has been continuously updated to keep pace with its clients' needs. HPD Software decided to build on its success by creating a next-generation software product for this market and, after extensive testing, chose DYNASTY to facilitate its development.

"Throughout the testing we were very impressed with DYNASTY," said Alan Macro, HPD Software project leader for the development of the next-generation software. "DYNASTY will help us develop a price-competitive product with all the performance, flexibility and platform independence that we need. We also are convinced that all our requirements for ease of maintenance and enhancement will be met."
