*** BPP and All *** Hi, BPP, glad you back. Here is more "brain food". ===================================================== -- Visigenic continued to increase its VisiBroker sales to corporate end-users. During the quarter, the Company completed agreements with over 125 new corporate customers, including AT&T Bell Atlantic; Deutsche Bank; General Electric Medical Systems; General Motors; J.P. Morgan; MCI; Merck; NationsBank; NextLink; Northern Telecom; Northwest Trust; Pacific Corp; and SmithKline Beecham. -- Visigenic strengthened its presence in Europe and its service capacity with the acquisition of Interactive Objects GmbH, a leading consulting company in Germany. Specializing in distributed object computing technology, Interactive Objects will continue its work of providing independent architectural consulting and design services to corporate clients in Europe as a wholly owned subsidiary of Visigenic. -- Visigenic commercially shipped the 3.0 version of its VisiBroker object request brokers (ORBs). This major release of Visigenic's ORBs for Java and C++ includes a number of new features and capabilities that significantly enhance the scalability and performance of distributed object applications, as well as providing developers with greater flexibility to customize ORB functionality. The Company also shipped the 3.0 versions of VisiBroker Naming Service for Java and C++ and VisiBroker Event Service for Java and C++. These modular, add-on, system-level services complement the functionality of the ORB and provide building blocks for business applications. -- On October 14, Visigenic's VisiBroker won DBMS Magazines Readers' Choice Award for best Object Request Broker. -- The Company further strengthened its position as the leading supplier of embedded ORB technology to the software industry. During the quarter, Visigenic signed a number of additional partner deals, and has now completed partner agreements with over 100 technology companies. New ORB-related partner agreements signed during the quarter include Actra Business Systems, LLC; Concept Five Technologies; Informix; Landacorp; Open Sesame; Scopus Technology; Seagate; Sherpa; Silicon Valley Network; Spyglass; and Sybase, Inc. -- To focus its efforts on the increasing demand for the Company's ORB technology, Visigenic announced to its customers that the Company will not be further enhancing its ODBC-based database access products. The affected products include VisiODBC SDKs, VisiODBC Drivers and VisiChannel for ODBC. ===================================================== Now when market is closed we have some more time to diagest quietly all the news. Good investing to all. EK
