Modeling Tools Made in Finland

Our next event will be a double-feature introducing two great modeling tools provided by Finnish vendors: Ellie by Ellie Technologies inc. and MetaEdit+ by MetaCase. Both tools have their own presentations followed by Q&A. General discussion will wrap-up the evening once both tools have enjoyed their share on spotlight.

MetaEdit+ lets you create world-class modeling tools in minutes – no coding needed
Juha-Pekka Tolvanen, CEO, MetaCase

MetaEdit+ enables companies to radically improve development productivity and quality by generating full code directly from models. This automation is possible because both the language and generators need fit the requirements of only one company and domain. First, your experienced developer designs the modeling language with MetaEdit+ Workbench and then other team members model with the language in MetaEdit+ Modeler. We demonstrate full code generation as well as language creation with practical examples.
