BackWeb Introduces Offline Access Server Version 4
ProactivePortal Server Name Changed to Reflect Expanded Capabilities; New
Development Environment Enables Quick and Easy Offline Deployment
SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BackWeb Technologies Ltd. ,
a leading provider of offline web software, today introduced the BackWeb(R)
Offline Access Server(TM), Version 4. Previously available as the BackWeb
ProactivePortal(R) Server, BackWeb has changed the name of its flagship product
to reflect expanded product capabilities in offline enabling different web
applications, including portals, intranets, extranets, or any ASP, ASP.Net or
J2EE application. A key innovation in Version 4 is the new BackWeb Developer
Studio, a visual integrated development environment (IDE) that greatly reduces
the effort required to extend web applications for offline use.
The BackWeb Developer Studio is a visual development environment that enables
web developers to extend, test and deploy web-based enterprise applications for
offline use without changing the way the application works. The BackWeb
Developer Studio greatly reduces development risk by integrating with the web
application front-end in a way that isolates it from the underlying application
development architecture, be it J2EE, .NET or any other web platform.
In recent months, BackWeb has experienced increasing demand for its
ProactivePortal Server offering, with recent customer wins including: ConAgra
Foods, Centocor, KLA Tencor, and Pioneer Natural Resources. The name
ProactivePortal Server has been changed to Offline Access Server in response to
direct market interest and added capabilities in offline enabling various
enterprise applications beyond portals.
Lam Research Corporation, a Fremont, California-based semiconductor process
equipment supplier, is using BackWeb's technology to both reduce costs and
improve overall business processes associated with managing and delivering key
company documents and information to its employees. The Company plans to use the
new Offline Access Server's expanded features and new developer environment for
future offline projects.
"In the last several months, BackWeb has seen increasing interest from customers
and prospects to offline enable intranets and web applications such as CRM and
PLM in addition to enterprise portals," said BackWeb Chairman and CEO Eli
Barkat. "These companies are viewing offline enablement as a key to the expanded
utility and increased ROI from web applications as 24/7 access to important
corporate content becomes a business necessity. With Offline Access Server,
Version 4, BackWeb customers now have a standards-based and visual environment
to quickly deploy and modify their offline applications."
The BackWeb Developer Studio within Offline Access Server, Version 4 includes:
-- Visual, standard, Eclipse-based development environment tailored for
both online and offline;
-- Complete, end-to-end testing environment from the online web to the
offline web;
-- Extendable OTML (Offline Tagging Markup Language) rules for fast
offline enablement of any web application;
-- Extendable offline processing logic using pre-processing scripts,
written in JavaScript; and
-- Integrated, pre-defined rules to accelerate development for leading web
platforms, including Plumtree, BEA, IBM and SAP Portals.
