ObjectShare Reports Strong Demand for Newly Released VisualWorks 3.0 Software
IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 19, 1998--ObjectShare Inc. (Nasdaq:OBJS - news) Thursday announced that it has initiated new shipments of its VisualWorks 3.0 software, following higher-than-anticipated demand for the product.
Introductory shipments of the software began in late February and quickly depleted existing inventory levels.
VisualWorks 3.0 is ObjectShare's next-generation product suite of powerful Smalltalk tools for developing portable, object-oriented client/server applications that can be distributed or deployed across a network or the Web.
The new suite includes enhanced parcel technology, enabling developers to create faster and more powerful applications, while eliminating the need to separate programming code manually and then maintain the multiplying independent components.
More than half of Fortune 100 companies currently utilize ObjectShare's Smalltalk software for creating, deploying and distributing network client/server applications.
Additional new features in the latest VisualWorks release include the ability to create more compelling, flexible user interfaces, a Windows 95 Look component, improved core libraries, a THAPI library to enable programmers to create more scaleable applications, and a business graphics library. VisualWorks 3.0 add-on products are scheduled for introduction later this month.
''Developers who have used VisualWorks will always tell you how easy it is to develop applications using VisualWorks. VisualWorks 3.0 makes deployment of applications supporting and the production environment easy, too, with the use of the new parcel technology,'' said Vinay Mutha, senior consultant at Dynamic Consulting.
''Response from our customers has been overwhelmingly positive,'' said Eugene Goda, ObjectShare's chief executive officer and president. ''Our strategy has been to provide our customers with timely technology enhancements that keep pace with the demands of today's fast-changing and expanding network computing environment, and VisualWorks 3.0 satisfies many current needs. We are pleased with our continued progress in making ObjectShare the Global 2000's top choice in object-oriented solutions,'' Goda added.
ObjectShare (formerly ParcPlace-Digitalk Inc.) is a leading provider of object-oriented programming solutions for networking computing.
The company offers complete client/server/Web application development tool sets for both Java and Smalltalk development that support open computing, portability and industry standards for distributed and Web-based enterprise computing.
In addition, ObjectShare provides a comprehensive range of services, including customer support, training, on-site assistance and consulting. With headquarters in Irvine, the company maintains offices across the United States and internationally in Germany, Japan and the United Kingdom, and a network of distributors worldwide.
