multiple enhancements that enable organizations to better and more

interfaces and internationalization.
“Compuware continues to

development environment; the company has an outstanding record for
supporting its existing client base over a significant period,” stated
Philip Howard, Research Director, Bloor Research. “Compuware Uniface

Important advancements to Uniface 9.1 that drive increased application development productivity include:
* Fully integrated web development--Uniface 9.1 enables developers to
build better applications faster by introducing a new, integrated web
development environment. This environment includes usability and
productivity enhancements for the development of web-based XHTML
applications, which are then easily deployed to multiple environments.
* Microsoft Windows Vista support and usability enhancements--Uniface
9.1 will support Microsoft Windows Vista upon its general availability
and supports Windows XP as well as the latest Windows Theme Manager and
Style Guides. This support enables developers to build enterprise
applications using the latest UI functionality that adheres to Windows’
look and feel.
* Enhanced internationalization support--Uniface 9.1
introduces Unicode support to help development teams deliver
applications for multi-national user bases by reducing the time and
cost of localizing applications targeted for multiple languages and
countries.
“Accord Software continuously seeks to improve
critical management software that provides the maximum return on
investment for our trucking industry customers,” said Joseph Rea, Vice
President of Software Development and Operations at Accord Software, a
Compuware partner. “At the end of the business day, it’s all about
productivity, and Compuware Uniface is a powerful solution that helps
us maximize the efficiency with which our applications are created,
delivered and supported. Migration from the previous version was easy
and straight-forward, and Accord will continue to rely upon Uniface’s
productivity in helping build our enterprise applications.”
The
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) of Uniface applications helps IT
organizations increase ROI for business critical applications through
the re-use of proven web services and through the easing of
implementing application changes. Compuware’s strategy for Uniface will
continue to focus on deploying Uniface applications on thin clients
such as Rich Internet Applications and mobile devices.
