Japan Orders New Office Software From China Tuesday May 18, 8:33 am ET Internet Telephone Co. to Sell Japanese Edition of Evermore Integrated Office WUXI, China and TOKYO, May 18 /PRNewswire/ -- China's Wuxi Evermore Software Inc., www.evermoresw.com, has struck a deal with Japan's Internet Telephone Co. Ltd., www.internettel.co.jp, to jointly develop the Japanese language version of Evermore Integrated Office (EIOffice). Under the agreement, Internet Telephone also becomes the exclusive sales agent for the Japanese version of EIOffice, the "First Real Office," designed and priced to liberate enterprise, small business and individual computer users from the Microsoft® Office monoculture. The development and marketing deal in Japan comes as China's leading developer of Office software makes the innovative suite of desktop software available to computer users in the United States and China. "EIOffice is a major innovation in data integration and software design," said Shigemasa Shigaki, president of Internet Telephone, which markets hardware, software and Voice over IP services to distributors, corporations, government agencies and schools in Japan. "EIOffice delivers the power of a conventional Office suite, plus new capabilities, such as Paste Link. When people get accustomed to using EIOffice data integration, which makes correct links between text documents, spreadsheets and presentations, Microsoft will be imitating EIOffice," said Shigaki. Guangnan Ni, cofounder of Lenova, China's leading PC maker, formerly known as Legend Group Co., and now a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and president of the Information Processing Society of China, called the event a milestone for the Chinese software industry. "Cooperation between Evermore Software in China and Internet Telephone Company in Japan is a great leap forward for China's software industry," said Ni. "Instead of just importing software, China is now entering the overseas market with innovations and mature technology." EIOffice 2004 is written in Java and runs under Windows® and Linux, making it ideal for users moving back and forth between open-source and proprietary operating systems. It integrates into one program, with one unified user interface, spreadsheet, word processor and business graphics functions that conventional Office suites force users to launch and run as separate applications. And it includes an array of productivity tools for working with and migrating from worksheets, documents and presentations produced with conventional Office suites that monopolize the desktop. The English and Chinese editions of EIOffice 2004 are available immediately. ... biz.yahoo.com
