Unicode, defined and standardized, by the Unicode Consortium enables people to use computers in any language and form the foundation for software internalization in all major operating systems, search engines, applications, and the Web. It is therefore a must for every software vendor to play by the rules of Unicode to best serve their customers worldwide. Providing tools that serve the needs of their customers around the globe has been the purpose of Eiffel Software from day one. The company has a track record of satisfied customers worldwide in the areas of finance, health, defense ….They built their applications with EiffelStudio and these applications run flawlessly 24x7, 365 days a year for years. EiffelStudio 7.2 continues in this direction with its focus on supporting the most recent Unicode standard.

“Making sure that with EiffelStudio developers have all the tools and features they need to produce applications for a global market place has been the company’s goal for over a quarter of a century,” says Emmanuel Stapf, Head of Engineering. “Our customers have praised us for this advantage and we are pleased to see that the market is evolving in that direction. With EiffelStudio 7.2 and the improvements we have made, our customers can produce Unicode applications and they can produce them quickly. There is no performance penalty for producing Unicode software".

Its core concepts, native only to Eiffel, such as Design by Contract™, multiple inheritance, genericity, conversions, agents, void safety allow developers to write high quality applications that are easy to maintain. EiffelStudio, which received the prestigious ACM Software Systems Award, is used by developers and design-team leaders in challenging enterprise environments in the financial, insurance, manufacturing, health, and government sectors.
