LINUX-BIZ: TomorrowSoft Corporation
Everyone agrees that in today's global economy,
businesses must have software applications that can be efficiently
distributed remotely over local and wide area networks. Companies
with multiple locations and/or remote trading partners are especially
affected by the limitations of current methods of distributing business
applications. Application Service Providers, (ASPs) are also severely
constrained by the limitations of current technology. We will fill the
need in this market with a patent-pending application development and
delivery technology that satisfies all three requirements at once. This
technology is The ASTRAL Application Projection System.
