Planisware, who has been using Allegro CL since 1993, chose to use Lisp for the creation of the high-performance application. Nicolas Vilars, Marketing Director, says "Allegro CL is an incredibly good language to develop true versatile, clever applications."

Vilars adds that Allegro CL and Lisp were used mainly to to interpret the rules included in OPX2, and enabled the company to quickly design powerful functions. "Compared to other languages, it is two times quicker to develop under Lisp than any other languages." confirms Mr. Vilars.

Allegro CL's multi-platform capabilities were also important to Planisware. "If today OPX2 is the fastest growing application in its category (Enterprise Wide Project Management Software), it is largely due to the outstanding design flexibility enabled by Lisp." says Vilars.
