For Immediate Release
DBI Technologies Collaborates
with Microsoft
Microsoft selects DBI components
for inclusion with Visual FoxPro - Sedna
Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, APRIL 4, 2006 –
DBI Technologies Inc. is proud
to announce that the next release of Microsoft’s Visual FoxPro
software development platform will offer direct access to a
refined selection of DBI Technologies commercial components.
DBI’s component products offer developers the ability to advance
their development cycles with proven, reusable componentized
software. “DBI has supported the FoxPro community for a long
time and is showing its further commitment for this dynamic
developer community in providing a great collection of
components, enhancing the benefit for Visual FoxPro Sedna
developers” said Milind Lele, Microsoft Program Manager.
DBI’s components have become
integral tools for Windows developers and the Visual FoxPro
community for ten years. DBI has taken an unparalleled approach
in its product offering to provide direct technical support for
all of Microsoft’s primary development platforms most notably
Visual Studio 6.0 and the latest Visual Studio versions 2003 and
2005 for the .NET framework. DBI has carved a unique niche in
the Windows developer community offering assistance to all
developers using their components in any compliant development
environment.
Components by definition are:
“reusable
objects or programs that perform a specific function and
designed to work with other components and applications.”
Components give greater
freedom to developers offering an array of commercialized
functionality from basic Windows style presentation and
navigation features to sophisticated appointment and resource
scheduling capabilities packaged and ready to use in software
development projects.
The need to control and better
manage time today is compounded by ever changing expectations,
advancing technology and the focus on earnings results. For a
decade or more organizations have learned to trim and drive out
efficiencies in many instances doing more with less. Today,
Thinking and working smarter drives new market advantage and
opportunities for continued local development success.
Components provide a critical element in this success, adding
outstanding functionality and reduced development risk at a cost
of pennies on the dollar in comparison to today’s development
costs.
“DBI products have given my apps
the professional look and feel, and are stable within a Fox
environment. I've been hitting them pretty hard, using quite a
few of your controls, for almost 2 years. As a Fox developer
since 1986, they are the best tools I've used with Fox,” Said
Gary Beasley of Softlogx.
With DBI’s components,
organizations can build resource and team management support
systems effectively with substantially decreased development
costs, said Alan Shead, president of DBI Technologies.
Implementing visually effective scheduling solutions with
real-time reporting gives organizations of all sizes incredible
competitive advantage.
