  5. Why Choose Appeon? More companies prefer to use Appeon for their Web projects because they find that Appeon delivers superior ROI by… • Shortest development time and lowest cost. Develop new Java or .NET Web applications 4X faster and migrate existing PowerBuilder applications in just a few months or even weeks. • Least project risk. There is no need to rewrite your entire code base, no need to re-architect your system, no need to retool your engineering team, and even no need to re-train your end-users. • Most powerful PowerBuilder Web deployment. Effortlessly handles the largest of applications (up to 600MB) with the most robust PowerBuilder feature support, and offers powerful desktop integration with the richest Web user interface. • Extraordinary performance and scalability.
