IRVINE, Calif. and CAMBRIDGE, U.K., Nov. 5, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- Just six months on from the acquisition of Omnishift Inc.'s intellectual property in May 2002, Endeavors Technology has developed the technology into a real-world business tool and launched Magi Application-Express software, an innovative solution that securely delivers any Windows application on demand over the Internet from central servers to desktops.
Magi Application-Express is both an effective enterprise solution for applications to run at the desktop level without code modification, compromising native performance or impacting functionality, and a tool that supports IT administrators' anti-piracy software initiatives.
Magi Application-Express rapidly delivers native applications to the desktop in a highly compressed format across intranets and extranets, tracks desktop usage of applications in real time, and greatly reduces the costs of deploying and upgrading Windows applications and security patches at the desktop level.
Gartner Research forecasts that more than 40% of enterprises could be using On Demand Application Delivery Software (ODADS) for targeted applications within the next five years. With Magi Application-Express, web-enablement of applications for efficient distribution across the Internet is achieved through a quick and simple publishing process.
Magi Application-Express supports security and authentication and enables even rich applications used in CAD, life sciences and pharma to run remotely on desktops without performance trade offs through patent pending technology, which requires only portions of the application to be held locally.
Equally important, with organizations such as the Business Software Alliance waging war on software piracy, it has become imperative that government and commerce be fully compliant in their software licensing practices. Magi Application-Express assists organizations to achieve and manage such compliance by registering and tracking the use of software in real time.
Magi Application-Express contributes to Endeavors Technology's vision of creating a Web-enabled environment for secure interaction between any application or file, irrespective of whether they are local or remote, inside or outside a firewall.
"Application sharing technologies such as Citrix have paved the way for on demand application delivery solutions," said Bernard Hulme, chairman and CEO of Endeavors Technology. "With Magi Application-Express, application sharing platforms can now enable even rich applications to be rapidly published and delivered to the desktop securely, efficiently and cost-effectively."
