Reminder:
Object Design's ObjectStore Powers Sterling Software's Cool Product Suite
ObjectStore Deployed as Repository for Leading Enterprise-Scale Development Tools
BURLINGTON, Mass., Dec. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Object Design, Inc.
(Nasdaq: ODIS), the leading object database company, today announced that Sterling Software, Inc. (NYSE: SSW), the recognized leader in enterprise-scale, business-driven application development tools, has deployed the Object Design(R) ObjectStore(R) database management system to support the COOL product suite's business, data, and object modeling tools. ObjectStore, Object Design's flagship object database, is providing a multiuser repository solution that enables the storage and reuse of application models and components within an integrated development environment.
The COOL product suite, which includes COOL:Biz, COOL:Dat, COOL:Jex and the COOL:Xtras Webview tool, is a set of tools for planning, modeling, designing, and building enterprise-scale applications and reusable application components. ObjectStore is being used to store the application models and components, allowing developers to share, reuse, and extend existing designs.
ObjectStore was chosen by Sterling Software for its ability to directly store object and component data without requiring any data mapping or translation, and its unique Cache-Forward(TM)distributed data-caching architecture that delivers high performance in multiuser environments.
"Component-based development is central to Sterling Software's goal of
dramatically improving the process for developing information systems," said Mark Theel, president of the Applications Development Division of Sterling Software. "Thanks to ObjectStore, developers using COOL:Biz, COOL:Dat, or COOL:Jex won't have to custom-build applications from scratch with each new project. Because our tools are object oriented, the ObjectStore database was the obvious choice. It was very easy to incorporate with the COOL tools and significantly reduced cost and time to market."
