Cleveland, U.K. - June 12, 2002 - North East Software development company Brightboy Media Limited are today launching what is set to be the "Next Generation" Groupware Platform. Based on business requirement and not on perceived functionality, this high value but low cost solution will place the North East company square on the map of innovative software development.
As business's evolve and the need for definitive collaboration tools to assist in the empowering of the knowledge workers grows, the giants of IBM and Microsoft all tout a solution that will cost $$, however the start-up from Cleveland certainly have shown that application of the mind and a good understanding of business will create a single interface that can easily and elegantly handle most collaborative requirements. Through the provision of an operating system like environment and dynamic application modules, DeskVu offers a clear, simple and cost effective route for business to embrace the ASP paradigm.
What distinguishes DeskVu from its competition is the fact that we designed DeskVu from scratch to work the way a business works," stated Alan Carter, co-founder and director of Brightboy Media. Before one line of code was written we spent many months looking at how modern business operates, how their people work, and how this ties in with their existing IT solutions. Frequently we found that true integration doesnt exist, Knowledge Management is erratic and misunderstood, and groupware solutions are hardly implemented or fully utilised.
DeskVu changes all that. Each application module was designed with the idea in mind that another user or application can leverage the data and value it contains both to work faster and smarter. Because DeskVu reflects business in its essence people can instantly use what DeskVu provides: cutting edge groupware with an application suite that is second to none"

Not only is this innovative but also intuitive with context level help, and based on Dynamic HTML the only client requirement is a browser - a true "thin data" solution, accessed anywhere and anytime. Simple installation and minimal configuration makes this the IT Directors choice. The system is built for business, with a comprehensive range of management tools providing features such as user management and profiling, comprehensive security and reporting.
With a range of 19 high value application modules available now, several in-house developments in progress and the backing of the development community, DeskVu will be seen as the groupware platform, delivering modules that cover the entire range of business requirement. An aggressive expansion schedule for the third and fourth quarters of 2002 will see exciting new developments introduced as well as partner, affiliate and developer relations.
In summary DeskVu represents the best and only choice for a Business Collaboration tool, it sets the standards for future business tools and we look forward to more innovation and developments from Brightboy Media Limited.
