Latest Release of Borland® Flagship RAD Platform Now Available SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif. - June 18, 2001 - Borland Software Corporation (Nasdaq NM: BORL), a leading provider in e-business implementation platforms, today announced the immediate availability of Borland® Delphi™ 6, the new version of its rapid application development (RAD) environment for the Windows® operating system. As the first RAD environment to help developers easily use and create emerging industry standard Web Services, Delphi 6 enables the rapid development and deployment of applications using XML- and SOAP-based Web Services technologies. Delphi 6 Web Services technologies speed e-business by enabling companies to automate the secure sharing and exchange of business information over the Internet. Delphi 6 is the only RAD environment that supports emerging industry standards: XML, SOAP, WSDL and XSL. Delphi 6 also supports emerging Web Services-based vendor platforms .Net™ and Biztalk™ from Microsoft, and ONE from Sun Microsystems®, while providing the scalability and reliability that enterprise and Web developers require. "Borland Delphi 6 delivers to developers the best-of-breed RAD environment that makes it truly easy to use and create emerging industry standard Web Services," said Evan Quinn, chief analyst for Hurwitz Group, Inc. "By adding Web Services into the context of the proven Delphi development metaphor and environments, Borland once again illustrates that it understands the unique needs of individual and corporate developers." Borland designed the new Delphi framework, including BizSnap™, WebSnap™ and DataSnap™, to enable faster time-to-market by simplifying business-to-business integration. Delphi 6 helps users build server-side and client-side applications that support Web Services specifications through a fully integrated set of Web Service enabled visual tools, advanced compiler technology and re-usable software components. "With its high level of performance and scalability, Delphi is my development environment of choice for building rapid applications for Windows," said Mouse Silverstein, senior systems developer at a major entertainment/theme park. "I depend on Delphi to build mission-critical applications quickly and easily." Borland Delphi 6 delivers performance rich graphical user interface (GUI) clients for customers' CORBA® or Enterprise JavaBean™ (EJB™) server applications. Using Borland Delphi 6, development teams can build rich GUI clients for Borland® VisiBroker for CORBA and Borland® AppServer™ applications for EJB technology. Delphi 6 extends customers' EJB applications as Web Services enabling them to provide business-to-business integration to their customers, suppliers and partners. "Web Services are the next step in application development on the Internet because they allow two companies that have different IT infrastructures to effectively conduct e-business together," said Simon Thornhill, vice president and general manager of Borland's RAD business unit. "We are already seeing an incredible demand for technologies that support Web services, which should fuel the growth of Delphi 6." Borland Delphi 6 new product features include:
In addition, when paired with Borland Kylix™, the first native RAD environment for the Linux® operating system (OS), Delphi 6 users can build single-source applications for both Windows and Linux, which opens new opportunities and increases the potential return on development investments.
