There haven’t been too many bright technology stories recently. Particularly
local ones. However Australia’s leading software component manufacturer
it-partners.com Pty Ltd is set to change this with the release of their ActiveX
component, itGrid.
“We knew we had to enter the market with the best product. Full stop. There are
more established names out there, so we have to beat them at their own game”
said it-partners.com managing director Brett Werner. “To do this we have to
surpass our competitors in performance, presentation, usability and stability.”
Essentially, ActiveX components are re-useable pieces of software that
significantly reduce application development time frames and costs. Respected
industry analysts Gartner Group have publicly stated, “By 2003, 70% of new
applications will be deployed as a combination of pre-assembled and newly
created components integrated to form complex business systems.”
“itGrid has been designed and built by developers for developers. We understand
the problems and frustrations that come with lesser products. It is our firm
belief that itGrid is the best ActiveX grid component on the market,” said
Brett Werner. itGrid outperformed all competitors in 44 out of 45 in-house
performance tests, and came in second in the 45th!
“Like most companies we are excited when we release a new product. But for us,
there is also the expectation. We know we have a good product. itGrid is more
than ready to take on the world market,” he added.
Whilst not receiving the attention of other industry sectors the software
component market has been experiencing massive growth. Most analysts’ estimates
put the component market at above US $2 billion per year, and rising.
International analysts IDC recently said, “IDC believe that software components
represent the future of software development”.
itGrid enters this multi-billion dollar market as the fastest and best
performing ActiveX grid on the market. “Initial response to itGrid has far
exceeded expectations, this is an exciting time for us,” said Brett Werner.
A fully functional evaluation version of itGrid is available via download from
the it-partners.com web-site (www.it-partners.com). It can be purchased
internationally from the world's largest marketplace and community for reusable
components, ComponentSource (www.componentsource.com)
and locally via Australian reseller Aeronaut (www.aeronaut.biz
).
