LOS ANGELES -- (BusinessWire) -- Aug. 3, 2000--Vertical Computer Systems Inc. (OTC BB:VCSY - news) today announced the official beta release of two of its MLE (Markup Language Executive) Solutions Suite products: the XML Catalog Enabler Agent and the XML Database Agent.
The XML Catalog Enabler Agent is directed toward B2B e-commerce applications, and the XML Database Agent is directed mainly toward internal operations of organizations.
Both products enable advanced interoperability in B2B, B2G and B2C e-commerce. They are server-based tools that allow data to be fetched from an SQL relational database via http. Both work on Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Linux. The XML Catalog Enabler Agent will enable vendors to enter the e-procurement business quickly via XML.
``The beginning of this beta test is a significant milestone for VCSY and demonstrates our commitment to the support and development of XML-based solutions. Interoperability is a key benefit of using XML for communications and data exchange, and we believe that these two products represent a significant step toward that,'' said VCSY's President Richard Wade.
``The general availability for these two products is scheduled for Sept. 30, 2000. There is an accelerated trend toward the use of XML as a key technology of e-commerce, and we are very excited to participate in laying the groundwork by allowing developers to rapidly build and deliver XML-based Web services today,'' stated Luiz Valdetaro, VCSY's chief technology officer. ``Furthermore, we developed these XML-enabler agents with the user in mind; they are Web-based, simple to set up, easy to use and low cost.''
