Windward Group's new RTAccess
software lets developers quickly
integrate desktop applications with
PalmPilot; compatible software
"conduit" dramatically cuts time to
market
LOS GATOS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 27, 1997--The
Windward Group, a software development company, today
released RTAccess 1.0, a product that can cut months off
time to market for anyone linking their application(s) to U.S.
Robotics' PalmPilot.
RTAccess is compatible with major database software,
allowing those developers to integrate the PalmPilot with their
desktop applications.
In the past, software engineers had to develop their own
method to transfer information between the PalmPilot and
databases such as Microsoft's Excel. Windward's RTAccess
provides off-the-shelf conduits customized and synchronized
for DAO-enabled database applications like Oracle, FoxPro,
dBase, Access, Excel, and text files. Synchronization lets
developers begin application integration in minutes.
Doug Engfer, president of The Windward Group, said,
"RTAccess is the key enabler for developers attacking
products for vertical markets. Other developers benefit from
Windward's years of ongoing experience with PalmPilot
software. It's cost efficient and quick, saving months of
development time."
The Windward Group expects RTAccess to be of special
interest to vertical application developers in industries with
portability and compatibility between palmtop and desktop as
major factors. These include: consumer, education,
healthcare, insurance, law, manufacturing, real estate, time
management, and utilities.
Windward's RTAccess 1.0 is available immediately.
Extensions and additional new products are being developed.
Pricing involves a combination of licensing and royalty fees.
For further purchase information, please contact Doug Engfer
at 888/394-9442, 408/394-9442 or doug@wwg.com.
The Windward Group, based in Los Gatos, Calif., has offices
in Salt Lake City and Santa Cruz, Calif. They develop software
products and provide software development, documentation,
and quality assurance services. Notable wins include the
creation of software and handheld-to-desktop architecture for
U.S. Robotics' PalmPilot handheld computer, FedEx Ship
