With significant investments of both time and resources placed on the database infrastructure for applications, organizations are looking for new ways to innovate quickly without having to rewrite code. 

In many application development teams, there is only one person who can update complex code. This leads to teams spending too much time attempting knowledge transfer, re-writing code to be clearer, and stepping through lines of code trying to understand what someone else wrote. 

SourcePro saves time, increases readability, and maximizes the re-use of code. This is done by providing an easy-to-use API that insulates the developer from many of the complexities of the underlying database access layer — allowing the developer to focus on implementing important application functionality.
