 "CNET Class of '98" awards recognize the most outstanding people, products and companies that have significantly shaped the technology, Internet and computing industries in the past year.

"This recognition from CNET, added to the strong, early acclaim by our corporate customers, Web developers and industry pundits, proves that Drumbeat has hit its mark as the best tool for building dynamic, database-driven Web applications."

Fueling the increasing demand for Web applications with database-driven capabilities is the opportunity for companies to use the Web to better serve their customers, streamline business transactions, share information internally and access and update cross-departmental databases.

In the past, building these kinds of applications could take six months or more, and required a programmer. Using Drumbeat, companies dramatically decrease the time, and therefore also the cost, to completed business solution.

For example, a scientist (who is a non-programmer) at Johnson & Johnson successfully used Drumbeat to build in one week an application that manages the inventory and location of chemicals among laboratories, integrating with an Oracle base client-server application. Web professionals at Lucent Technologies were able in one day to build an application that tracks and alerts change in the manufacturing schedule.

"Drumbeat was the clear winner in its category. It really offers the best way to build real-time database integration into Web sites while creating a visually compelling site," said Chris Barr, Editor and Chief CNET Online.

"And the important added benefit of using Drumbeat is that site builders don't need to write code to develop sophisticated Web-based business applications. In a nut shell, database-driven Web sites are hot and Drumbeat 2.0 makes them easy."
