Emrys Solutions New Enterprise Software Extends Corporate Applications to Mobile Devices - Anytime, Anywhere, and to Any Device.Business Editors, High-Tech Writers RICHARDSON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 2, 2000 Emrys Solutions, Inc. today announced Emrys Visions 1.1(TM), enterprise software that manages different devices across multiple platforms Refers to two or more operating environments, which typically include the CPU family and operating system. For example, if versions of a program run on Windows and the Macintosh, the software is said to support multiple platforms. and protocols and allows the real-time sharing of applications and information between the enterprise and mobile devices. Emrys Visions 1.1 is unique in its ability to distribute existing application functionality to a variety of devices, connected in a variety of ways. It overcomes many common problems associated with mobile computing Using a computing device while in transit. Mobile computing implies wireless transmission, but wireless transmission does not necessarily imply mobile computing. Fixed wireless applications use satellites, radio systems and lasers to transmit between permanent objects such as buildings , such as bandwidth constraints, device display size and color limitations, device user interface form factor, stateless Refers to software that does not keep track of configuration settings, transaction information or any other data for the next session. When a program "does not maintain state" (is stateless) or when the infrastructure of a system prevents a program from maintaining state, it cannot take connections, and browser / micro-browser limitations. Device support includes computing devices connected to a corporate LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. , Intranet or Internet, such as Palm OS(TM) and Windows CE(TM) based Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) and mobile telephones using Wireless Application Protocol (WAP (1) (Wireless Access Point) See access point. (2) (Wireless Application Protocol) A standard for providing cellular phones, pagers and other handheld devices with secure access to e-mail and text-based Web pages. ). Emrys Visions 1.1 further opens the enterprise by including support for ActiveX Data Objects (database, Microsoft, programming) ActiveX Data Objects - (ADO) Microsoft's library for accessing data sources through OLE DB. Typically it is used to query or modify data stored in a relational database. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/ado270/htm/adostartpage1.asp. (ADO) and Component Object Model (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. ). Support for ADO allows access to industry leading database management systems, including Oracle. COM allows for more efficient application development, programming language independence, and re-usability of code. Additional form-factors (Palm, HP Jornada, Pocket PC) are available. To gain the benefits offered by Visions 1.1, applications don't need to be re-developed, but simply re-deployed by integrating the Emrys Visions Application Manager and deploying the client-side View Manager. "Emrys Visions 1.1 has been designed to be the platform for delivering enterprise-class mission-critical applications to mobile professionals and to extend application functionality to The Point of Need (anywhere, anytime, any device)," said Bruce Switzer, Emrys' CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. . "Our patent-pending technology offers unmatched performance and depth of functionality. With its support for Windows, Internet and wireless clients, Visions is ideal for sites with mixed connectivity and client-side requirements." Major features include rapid time to benefit; performance, functionality, scalability, and security. Visions 1.1 also works with corporate firewalls through its HTTP Tunneling feature. In addition, Visions 1.1 includes evPanel, which improves manageability by offering a number of advanced administration tools. Emrys' target market includes companies that have software applications which can benefit by being extended to a variety of devices (desktop computers, notebook computers, handheld devices (Palm OS & Windows CE) over TCP/IP TCP/IP in full Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Standard Internet communications protocols that allow digital computers to communicate over long distances. based networks, including wireless CDPD (Cellular Digital Packet Data) A low-speed, digital, wireless data network that is an enhancement to an existing analog cellular network. Based on IBM's CelluPlan II, CDPD provides a packet overlay onto the AMPS network and moves data at 19. networks. Emrys Visions 1.1 is completely backward compatible with Emrys Visions 1.00, which was announced last year. Visions 1.1 is presently in final beta. The production release will be available from Emrys and its Value Added Resellers (VARs) beginning September 1, 2000. Emrys' flexible pricing model allows for deployment to as few as five users ($795 US), as well as broader workgroup deployment or deployment across the enterprise supporting hundreds or thousands of users.
