April 27, 2011 – Bonita Springs, FL – DataWorks, Inc. is pleased to announce Sodexo, Inc., a leading provider of Comprehensive Service Solutions, has chosen NeXT® as their inventory control software for Re:sourxe by Sodexo, their North American healthcare retail initiative. Sodexo developed Re:sourxe to provide hospitals with a full-service retail consumer engagement platform, including retail stores onsite at hospitals. Sodexo’s retail platform features relevant products to meet the needs of employees, patients, and visitors.

Guy Ardizoni, VP of Sales and Marketing for DataWorks, said that NeXT was selected for its enterprise inventory management system. NeXT is a scalable solution that will grow with Sodexo’s evolving needs, and includes multi-store service location management with individual and consolidated reporting. Yet it is controlled from one central location. This allows for more functionality at the store level, as well as streamlined communication between the facilities’ management sites.

April 27, 2011 – San Deigo, CA – In its first-quarter review, Louisville, Ky.-based software firm Halfpricesoft.com announced a 60 percent increase in sales over the first three months of 2010. The company credited this remarkable gain to a unique marketing strategy in which customers use the company’s software for free.

After several years of lackluster sales, software developer Halfpricesoft.com discovered TrialPay. By partnering with TrialPay’s advertisers, Halfpricesoft.com customers get free download and license key for the company’s most popular software titles when they purchase goods and services from the advertisers. The advertisers pay for the software and license keys.

“We were confident that the TrialPay partnerships would be good for business, but we had no idea that it would achieve such monumental results,” said Halfpricesoft.com founder Dr. Ge. “A 60 percent increase in sales is just phenomenal.”

Halfpricesoft.com launched in 2003 with a focus on creating business software for small businesses that is easy to learn and affordable for small businesses yet full-featured. The company found it difficult to market software as a start-up, since customers were unfamiliar with the company, and sold only a handful of copies in its first year.

With the knowledge that their software offered features and capability comparable to high-end business software, Halfpricesoft.com offered a 30-day free trial period for its products believing that when users tried the software, they would realize the value offered by Halfpricesoft.com and purchase the full-use license. While the free trial period did increase sales, they remained far below expectations.

April 26, 2011 – Seattle, WA – Today, Corensic was selected as one of three “Cool Vendors” by industry research firm Gartner in the annual report, “Cool Vendors in Application Development, 2011″ (Thomas Murphy et al, available for Gartner subscribers). Gartner, Inc. is the world’s leading information technology research and advisory company with 4,400 associates, including 1,200 research analysts and consultants, and clients in 85 countries. Corensic was chosen by researchers as “Cool” due to positive feedback from clients and for providing innovative solutions for identifying and fixing concurrency errors in modern, multi-threaded applications.

“Corensic helps organizations deliver and deploy higher quality software faster. Our products enable every stakeholder in the software lifecycle, including development, test, IT, and support, to catch and reproduce bugs and communicate about them effectively,” said Peter Godman, Founder and CEO of Corensic. “With this announcement, Gartner reinforces the sentiments of our many customers: that we’re delivering an innovative solution to help development organizations build, test, and deploy higher quality software.”

“Identifying concurrency errors is increasingly important, because systems may run happily in testing or under many other conditions and then suddenly fail. This usually leaves little useful information for organizations to use to track down the problem or reproduce the defect. What is key about Corensic is that it discovers why the bug occurs, which is critical in this type of operation. Jinx is a good fit well for agile organizations practicing continuous integration, while building Web services,” wrote Thomas Murphy, Research Director at Gartner.

When enabled, Jinx uses advanced heuristics to simulate numerous “alternate realities” of application execution in search of a particular “reality” that will cause a concurrency bug. When Jinx finds a concurrency error, it makes it happen on the developer’s desktop, during continuous integration, or during stress testing, and pinpoints the cause of the bug. In so doing, Jinx makes code “unlucky” and forces hidden bugs to occur during the development process so that they don’t occur in a production environment. Concurrency errors found in production software have contributed to numerous high-profile disasters, including the 2003 Northeastern United States Power Blackout and the deaths of patients using the Therac-25 radiation therapy device. Businesses that use Jinx see increased developer and QA organization productivity, reduced testing costs, and higher quality software.
