Company Extends Product Line, Services and Sales Internationally
PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Instantiations, Inc., a leading provider of advanced software development solutions, today announced notable growth during 2006. Ranked among the 100 fastest growing private companies in Oregon for 2005, Instantiations is a pioneer in building a profitable business based on the open source software model.
Involved in the Eclipse open source software movement since 1999,
privately-held Instantiations grew its company revenue over 70 percent
during 2006. During the same time, the company also increased its
staff by 40 percent. The company achieved its 2006 growth by focusing
on adding high-value, high ROI software development functionality
targeted at its primary market, professional software developers in
organizations and enterprises that build their own software systems.
"We're
passionate about contributing to the success of open source software,
especially Eclipse, because it provides the best technology and
software platforms for developing enterprise software applications and
the tools necessary to create them," said Mike Taylor, Instantiations
CEO and Eclipse Foundation board member. "Our strong growth in 2006
was driven by new strategic products and expansion of our sales
activity in Europe. We also added more enterprise-level companies,
like BEA, SAS, JP Morgan, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois and others
to our customer list. In 2007 we will significantly expand our
consulting services and continue broadening international distribution
of our products."
During 2006, the company added two innovative
products for developing rich client applications based on the Java
programming language. RCP
Developer(TM) is the first development
tool to leverage the open source Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) for
creating Java-based client and standalone desktop applications. GWT
Designer(TM) is the definitive tool for creating Ajax Internet
applications using the Google Web Toolkit (GWT).
Shorthand for
asynchronous JavaScript and XML, Ajax is increasingly popular as a way
to build rich Web-based applications. Google endorses using GWT
Designer with its GWT.
In addition, the company has two other major product brands, WindowBuilder
Pro(TM)
and CodePro AnalytiX(TM). WindowBuilder Pro is the market-leading
product for creating Java graphical user-interfaces (GUIs) and is used
worldwide by tens of thousands of Eclipse developers. CodePro AnalytiX
is among the most popular software development tools available for
Eclipse. It automatically helps developers improve software quality,
reliability, and maintainability in the applications they develop.
"Currently,
U.S. companies are leading the use of open source solutions, like
Eclipse, for developing enterprise-level applications," said Taylor.
"However,
the use of these tools by enterprises worldwide is ramping up and is
expected to grow dramatically in 2007, because IT managers are
pressured to find high-value, high-ROI software development tools that
help bring business-critical applications to users faster."
