CorasWorks Launches Summer 2006 Release of the CorasWorks Workplace Suite

RESTON Reston, uninc. city (1990 pop. 48,556), Fairfax co., N Va., a planned community established in 1961. A suburb of Washington, D.C., Reston is organized in a series of residential villages and commercial areas. , Va. -- CorasWorks Corporation, the leading provider of workplace application software on the Microsoft([R]) platform, today announced the release of the CorasWorks Workplace Suite[TM] - Summer 2006 edition. With this latest release, CorasWorks advances the ability of enterprise application architects to design robust applications that are inter-connected as part of an integrated workplace running on the Microsoft SharePoint platform - all without any custom development.

For many CorasWorks customers the investment in the CorasWorks Workplace Suite is easily justified by the lower total cost of ownership for the applications they build using its modular architecture. On average, organizations see an 80% cost savings compared to building their applications using custom development. Yet, for many enterprise organizations, their application designs continue to be constrained con·strain

Also, users can do data entry to add or change information across their workplace without needing to jump from one application to another.

* Support for role-based dashboards: Role-based dashboards or "personas Personas or personae are fictitious characters that are created to represent the different user types within a targeted demographic that might use a site or product.
