CCAES.COM Announces QuickData for Electronic Component Information Exchange.MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 1, 1999-- CCAES.COM (1) (Computer Output Microfilm) Creating microfilm or microfiche from the computer. A COM machine receives print-image output from the computer either online or via tape or disk and creates a film image of each page. announced today the QuickData QuickStart program for enabling electronic component information exchange over the Internet. QuickData enables customers and component information end users to make simultaneous queries for component information to multiple suppliers over the Internet, receiving real time business to business responses. "Unlike many companies active on the Internet, we chose to develop, pilot test, and prove our products with major corporations. More than two years ago we initiated our development efforts based on the Electronic Component Interchange (ECIX ECIX Electronic Component Information Exchange ECIX Electronic Component Interchange ECIX Economic Conversion Information Exchange ECIX European Commercial Internet Exchange ) standard defined by the SI2 standards committee. "Today we have a full suite of capability in place with our pilot customers to enable full intelligent electronic content to be exchanged using the ECIX standard and XML XML in full Extensible Markup Language. Markup language developed to be a simplified and more structural version of SGML. It incorporates features of HTML (e.g., hypertext linking), but is designed to overcome some of HTML's limitations. as the web transfer vehicle. End users of component information are able to initiate simultaneous Internet queries for specific component information and selection, and receive real time responses. "With the QuickData QuickStart announcement, we are uniquely positioned to provide a full bundle solution to a broader audience of component manufacturers and distributors," said Uwe Meding, Vice President of Engineering.

It often refers to a major change in thinking and planning, which ultimately changes the way projects are implemented. For example, accessing applications and data from the Web instead of from local servers is a paradigm shift. See paradigm. is occurring in the way users interact with component suppliers. Providing static html An HTML page (Web page) that displays the same information for all users. Although it may be updated from time to time, it does not change with each user retrieval. Contrast with dynamic HTML. web and pdf data sheets or simple web page parametric searches is insufficient to meet the time to market constraints of the user community. Users are requiring more product information, immediately, and on-demand, directly from their component suppliers. "This information extends well beyond data sheets to procurement, manufacturing, and engineering tooling information. Component manufacturers and suppliers who can supply this information to their end users will have an immediate competitive advantage. "However, the limiting factor A factor or condition that, either temporarily or permanently, impedes mission accomplishment. Illustrative examples are transportation network deficiencies, lack of in-place facilities, malpositioned forces or materiel, extreme climatic conditions, distance, transit or overflight rights, to enabling this information exchange has always been the source of the content. Our QuickData Miner, a plug-in product for Adobe(R) Acrobat(R) Reader, enables the massive amounts of electronic content to be mined and structured in the web enabled XML format for intelligent content exchange. "Coupled with our recent announcement of the QuickData client, a java applet to the Netscape and Internet Explorer web browsers, and the QuickData Server, a parametric search engine for electronic component information, the QuickData QuickStart program validates our commitment to providing front to back solutions to the component information and design marketplace." The QuickData QuickStart program is a bundled solution consisting of a workgroup license for the QuickData Miner, a server license for the QuickData Server, and un-restricted licenses of the QuickData Client. The entire package including all three software packages, applications setup and support, is licensed on an annual subscription fee.
