ASTAWARE’S JAVA-BASED SOLUTIONS
PROVIDE IMMEDIATE SUPPORT FOR APPLICATIONS OPERATING ON
MICROSOFT WINDOWS 2000
Toronto, Ontario, Canada - March 6, 2000 -
ASTAware Technologies INC. ("ASTAware" / the "Company") is pleased to announce that Duke Communications International, a Colorado-based corporation and publisher of 7 major computer and business magazines including "Business Finance" and "Windows 2000 Magazine" has licensed the use of ASTAware SearchDisc in its current publication of "Article Archive CD".
Well before Windows 2000 was released and the stability of that operating system was accepted by the marketplace, Duke was looking for a solution that would allow them to electronically publish their content, integrated with a sophisticated, robust search engine, and to have their publications run on every platform, including Windows 2000. ASTAware’s Java-based SearchDisc technology ensured that the time to market for Duke’s publication would not be delayed simply because of Microsoft’s upgrade strategy. The platform independence of ASTAware’s technology is derived from its deployment of the Java Virtual Machine, thereby permitting all applications relying on ASTAware’s core functionality to run on every platform, including Linux, Unix, Macintosh and Windows.
"[Duke’s] Article Archive CD" - combine the speed and convenience of a CD-ROM with the entire article database of Windows 2000 Magazine and a powerful search engine and you’ve got an indispensable IT reference tool." – www.winntmag.com/OurProducts/.
"We needed to find a solution that would be compatible with Windows 2000 even though none of us really knew what the compatibility issues would be. ASTAware made this possible. We created a product with quick searching capabilities in a short turnaround. The ASTAware team was extremely helpful when we were trying to customize the product. They even made themselves available for technical questions all hours of the day. Their technical support and follow-up with our customers has been superb." said Glenell Rosburg, Producer, Duke Communications International.
