• VWG Saves multi-lingual search engine 2 years and $250k
• Each revision took between one to five days whilst using classic ASP.NET, would have taken from one to three weeks each
• John Graffio: “...VWG has allowed me to come to market anywhere from 24-30 months ahead of anything I could have remotely dreamed of”
