GTpB Open Source

On its fourth anniversary, GT portalBase (www.gtportalbase.com) has
been released under a GPL open source license.

GT portalBase is a web based industrial strength platform for business
application development based on a postgresql database. It’s used to
rapidly prototype and develop data entry and reporting applications
that work over the internet or a local network.

Our vision was to create a product that allowed business analysts to
create lean, agile, Just-In-Time (JIT) back offices.
