A flexible, powerful application environment

First launched in 1991 as Concorde XAL, the product's open 4GL foundation has allowed it to grow into a complete enterprise solution - and to keep evolving to this day.

The product

One of the most successful products its users have known

Developed in 1991 by Damgaard Data and first launched as Concorde XAL, the XAL product is regarded by consultants and clients alike as one of the most successful products they've been involved with.

Originally created as a 4GL programming language - eXtended Application Language - the power of the development environment was quickly realised through its core financial modules, producing a product in Denmark to rival the success of Sage in the UK small-business market.

Adopting an open approach to development, Damgaard gave accredited Value Added Resellers (VARs) full access to the application source code, enabling them to apply their business knowledge to building additional modules.
