VCSY - Vertical Computer Systems Inc. Announces Availability of Emily(TM) XML Enabler Agent for Purchase, Public Download - Will Allow Small Businesses to Compete With Large Organizations in E-Commerce
LOS ANGELES, Feb 20, 2001 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Vertical Computer Systems
Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: VCSY), a leading provider of Web commerce solutions,
today announced that its Emily(TM) XML Enabler Agent is available for public
purchase and download. It is available at emilysolutions.com for
Windows NT and Windows 2000 systems.
Emily XML Enabler Agent is new XML system software that radically speeds the
creation of business Web sites. XML, or Extensible Markup Language, is
recognized as a vital standard for Web sites created by businesses and
government agencies worldwide. The software allows users to create XML content
from relational databases faster and easier than with traditional XML
programming techniques, and then to publish this content to XML broker sites on
the Web. IBM Corp. recently featured VCSY's EMILY technology as an innovation
leader on IBM's new showcase Web site, www.ibm.com/framework/innovations.
Emily XML Enabler Agent brings the power and flexibility of a very high-level
language, or VHLL, to the creation and management of business Web sites. Large
corporations and U.S. government agencies have made substantial commitments to
using XML in creating sites accessed by commercial partners and the general
public. Enterprises with data repositories -- from product catalogs to public
records and beyond -- can now publish that data, including that found on some
legacy systems -- into a Web-based XML format.
"This represents a significant step forward in our deployment of Emily," said
Jeff Davison, Chief Software Officer for VCSY. "In addition to offering a first
look at a 100-percent Emily application, the XML Enabler Agent provides
important functionality to the Web at large. For the first time, ordinary users
will be able to publish product catalogs, scientific data, and other XML
documents for general use on the World Wide Web. We see this as an important
step forward in wiring the Web with XML. In particular, the XML Enabler Agent
will allow small businesses and enterprises to compete with large organizations
in the e-commerce arena."
A single copy of the Emily XML Enabler Agent, Standard Edition, is priced at
$495 and includes an authorization code with no time limit and 30 days of
technical support.
The Professional Edition, priced at $995, includes 90 days of technical support,
authorization coding with no time limit, XML Broker Software, templates and
utilities, a hard copy of the XML Enabler Agent Operator's Manual and a CD-ROM
containing full XML Enabler Agent software and documentation. Also, an upgrade
from an existing authorized user's Standard Edition to the Professional Edition
is available for an additional fee.
The newly redesigned EmilySolutions.com Web site also offers a limited time free
trial version of the Agent (offer expires on March 31, 2001), a support area,
and additional product information and resources for both XML users and
developers. Also, to support the publishing interface for the Agent, Emily XML
Broker has been installed at xml.emilysolutions.com and
xml.theusbridge.com. These sites allow users to publish product
information and other data to the Web for general use by the public.
