Wallop Software Delivers Build-It, First Team-Based Web Application Assembly Environment

FOSTER CITY, CA, October 28, 1996 � Wallop Software, Inc. today announced Build-IT, the first completely open and comprehensive Web application assembly environment. Build-IT allows teams of developers and content creators to work collaboratively to create application components, assemble them into cohesive applications, deploy them, and maintain them. Build-IT brings organization and control to the Web application development process, enabling delivery of large-scale Web applications that combine rich content with transaction capabilities, that can grow with requirements, that can be maintained easily, and that are extremely reliable. The enterprise version of the product is priced at $2,495 per seat, with general availability slated for November, 1996.

Wallop Software also announced today the public beta version of Build-IT. Available immediately, users can obtain a password allowing them to download a free beta version of Build-IT from Wallop's home page at http://www.wallop.com. Early beta customers include large corporations such as Bank of America, Bay Networks, Cisco Systems, Informix Software, Oracle Corporation, Southern California Edison, and Xerox.

"Web application development is fundamentally more complex than client-server � it is component-based, requiring integration of a diverse set of component types and involves the use of multiple, specialized tools, not a single proprietary development solution," said Rob Bolt, chief executive officer and co-founder of Wallop Software. "While most Web authoring tools are focused on creating a single application component such as an HTML page, or a Java applet, Wallop has chosen to focus on assembling all of these components into a cohesive application."

Web applications are defined by the complex set of relationships that exist between a diverse set of components. Build-IT's advanced parsing technology dynamically maps and updates the dependencies or relationships that exist between all application components, ensuring application reliability, and improving developer productivity.

Early beta users are already reaping the benefits of Build-IT's sophisticated ability to provide order, in what is becoming a chaotic experience for most companies.

"Our Web-based product defines a new class of application that creates content based on individuals' personal financial situation, their goals, and their concerns," said Michael Robertson, vice president of product development at 401k Forum, the nation's first on-line financial advisory service for 401k participants. "Providing custom information to thousands of individuals requires a multitude of objects that have to be constantly built and updated. Build-IT enables all team members to manage the fresh financial data, custom graphics, sophisticated C code, and custom text. Other configuration tools are limited to the realm of developers. With Build-IT, all of our staff are able to use a common tool. It prevents the incredible productivity decreases that occur while building and maintaining complex Web applications."

A New Breed of Intranet Applications Requires a Team-Based Application Assembly Environment
The use of Web technology to implement Intranet systems is spawning a new class of applications that combine rich content with transactions. In addition, the Web application development paradigm is new, requiring integration of a diverse set of component types (such as HTML pages, Java applets, ActiveX controls, GIF images, and database forms) each of which is created with a specialized tool. The development teams that are delivering these applications are also new, comprised of a broad group of content experts, graphic designers, programmers, Web masters, and system administrators. The creation of these types of applications requires a consolidated assembly environment that embraces a diverse set of industry-standard components and authoring tools, and allows heterogeneous development teams to work productively and collaboratively together.

"Build-IT is a powerful new Web development environment that enables developers to use a broad array of component authoring tools while collaborating with a diverse development team," said Jeff Treuhaft, director security, platforms and tools at Netscape Communications Corp. "Build-IT leverages Java, JavaScript and other technologies from the Netscape ONE platform to provide Netscape customers with the flexibility they need to build and maintain large-scale network applications."

"Large corporations require a Web development environment that ties all their components, tools, and individual developers together. We are very pleased that Build-IT provides a consolidated environment that supports the full-range of Microsoft Internet products and technologies, including Internet Explorer, FrontPage, Internet Information Server, and Visual Basic Script," said Tod Nielsen, general manager, developer relations group at Microsoft Corporation.

"In our development environment, we have a large, diverse group of people who are all on the critical path for delivering Web applications. Build-IT is a product that allows all of us to work collaboratively on the same set of components, test them, and deploy them ensuring the reliability and integrity of our production applications," said Jessi Formoe, project manager at GuestWare, an emerging provider of Web-based services for the hospitality industry.

With the announcement of Wallop Build-IT, developers obtain a wide variety of benefits:

Creates Order From Chaos
Build-IT brings productivity, control, and order to the development of large-scale Web applications. Acting as an umbrella under which all Web development activity can be accomplished, Build-IT organizes and manages the massive set of components which make up a Web application. It provides a "dashboard" or unified view of all the components to the entire development team over the complete application development process. Whether they are looking for a specific object, want to view and automatically update the links between objects, need to preview the contents of a file, do a global search-and-replace across all objects in an application, or deploy some new content, Build-IT helps the team to do it quickly and easily. Build-IT provides a cohesive environment for developing and maintaining a diverse range of Web components to create reliable applications, where previously it has been increasingly difficult without massive additions of personnel.

Works Across the Complete Lifecycle
Build-IT can be used on existing Web applications or to develop completely new ones. From importing existing applications, to developing new components and content, to assembling components into a cohesive application, to testing, deployment, and maintenance, Build-IT provides a consistent environment across the entire application development lifecycle. Build-IT embraces work-in-progress and existing components and tools, thereby protecting current Web investments.

Provides Total Choice
Because Build-IT is open and comprehensive, embracing all industry-standard component types and authoring tools, it is the right solution for developers that want freedom and flexibility in building Web applications. Developers simply double-click on any component, and Build-IT launches the best-of-breed authoring tool of their choice � FrontPage, Netscape Navigator Gold, PhotoShop, JavaWorkshop, Visual Basic, PowerBuilder, NetDynamics, Director, or any other.

Build-IT supports the full range of component types required to build Web-based business applications. Beyond the typical HTML pages and GIF images, it supports ActiveX controls, perl scripts, Java applets, JavaScript scripts, database forms, sound, animation, and more. Additionally Build-IT is based on an extensible architecture that will embrace new tools, objects and technologies as they emerge. Within the Build-IT environment developers can create a cohesive, integrated application with all the live rich content and transaction capabilities that are hallmarks of today's leading Web applications.

Applications assembled within the Build-IT environment deploy to any Web server, on any operating system, and are accessible by any Web browser. Developers can choose Netscape SuiteSpot server software, Microsoft Internet Information Server, Oracle, Apache, or any other Web server � deployment is platform independent. Build-IT does not introduce any proprietary technology or infrastructure, thereby reducing adoption risk and ensuring the long-term viability of Web applications.

Supports Team Development
Large Web applications require cross-functional teams of programmers, content providers, graphic designers, Web masters, and systems administrators to understand application flow and linkages, to avoid broken links and orphan objects, use shared libraries, and view components simultaneously whether they are in development, testing or production stages. With Build-IT, the entire team can work productively and collaboratively together in a consolidated environment to create and maintain Web application components. For example, check-in/check-out of components enables entire development teams to work collaboratively on the same group of files without the fear of overwriting each other's work.

Designed for Large-Scale Applications
Build-IT was designed to support large-scale applications comprised of thousands of objects. Using Build-IT, developers can update complex applications with tens of thousands of inter-relationships in an orderly, controlled manner. Because Build-IT supports several different development stages (design, test, and production), developers can make updates to staging servers, and easily deploy changes to production servers with complete assurance of the reliability and integrity of the application.

Wallop Build-IT System Requirements
The Wallop Build-IT application assembly environment is available on Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 operating systems. Processor required is 486/66 or higher and requires 10MB free hard disk space. Applications developed with Build-IT deploy to Apache, Netscape, Microsoft, and Oracle Web servers on UNIX and Windows NT operating systems.

Wallop Software Launches with Revolutionary Approach to Intranet Development

FOSTER CITY, CA, August 6, 1996 � Wallop Software, Inc. today announced its launch into the marketplace, supported by beta software, early customers, industry partners, a training curriculum, and venture capital funding. The company, incorporated in 1995 as NetBuild, Inc., was founded on the premise that the Internet will enable the creation of a new class of business applications that combine rich content with robust transaction capabilities. This new breed of sophisticated business applications demands a revolutionary approach to application development.

Peter Solvik, chief information officer for Cisco Systems, Inc., agrees, "What's missing in the market is a product that was designed from the ground up to control and manage the entire process of creating large corporate Web applications. At Cisco Systems, we have been developing and deploying a large number of Web-based applications externally on our Web site and internally on our corporate Intranet. Wallop is developing an enterprise-class Web development tool that has taken a unique approach to this problem. It provides a comprehensive environment that drives the Intranet application development process, beginning with application creation through deployment and on-going maintenance. It will allow our developers to use best-of-breed tools for creating applications and provides a mechanism for controlling and providing structure around the process. We are very excited about this product and plan to be an active participant in Wallop's beta program."

Wallop's founders, Robert (Rob) Bolt and William (Bill) Daniel, both experts in client/server application development, realized that while "web extensions" to traditional client/server development tools would extend use of existing forms-based applications to the Internet, they would fail to deliver on the promise of the Intranet as the platform of choice for corporate communications and business process automation. They understand the critical need for production quality development tools designed to address the unique challenges inherent in Web development. Wallop Software was established to provide a wide range of products and services specifically designed for corporate developers needs in building sophisticated Intranet-based business applications.

"Wallop's goal is to help developers create order out of the chaos that is today's Intranet, without limiting flexibility and choice," said Rob Bolt, chief executive officer of Wallop Software. "The placement of Web extensions on traditional client/server tools will ultimately fail because it does not address the greater complexity of Intranet application construction. Without a robust development and management environment, this extraordinary new platform will never move beyond hype."

A New Breed of Intranet Applications Requires a Revolutionary Development Environment

The use of Web technology to implement Intranet systems is spawning a new class of applications that combine the traditional characteristics of client/server applications (such as decision logic, structured data, and transaction capabilities), with rich content (such as documents, images, audio, and animations). The Intranet application development paradigm is fundamentally new -- it is component-based, integrating a diverse set of object types (such as HTML pages, Java applets, ActiveX controls, and GIF images) and involves use of multiple, specialized tools, not a single proprietary development solution.

Wallop Software provides a category-defining, revolutionary application development environment that enables developers to integrate a wide range of best-of-breed development tools and diverse component types to build, deploy, and manage Intranet applications. Wallop Software is the only company addressing the market need for assembly of application components, offering an open and comprehensive environment that brings structure, organization, and control to the process of constructing Intranet applications.

"As Intranet applications become larger and more sophisticated, corporate developers like those within our organization begin to feel the disjointed, chaotic nature of the application development process. While we have seen much success in our initial Intranet efforts, we are now beginning to hit a technology wall," said Bernard Miller, chief information officer of Global Village Communications. "Clearly there is a need for vendors like Wallop Software to offer an open and comprehensive development environment for building component-based business applications."

"Organizations and individual developers will instantly recognize the benefits of the application development environment which Wallop offers. It is well conceived and fills a critical need for developing a new class of Intranet-based business applications," said Richard Finkelstein, industry analyst with Performance Computing, Inc. "Wallop's product is extremely promising and will undoubtedly be heavily utilized by large accounts involved in Intranet application development and deployment."

Wallop is actively partnering with software vendors to ensure that the Wallop solution seamlessly integrates with best-of-breed technologies. Wallop currently has relationships with Informix, Microsoft, Netscape, Oracle, and Sybase.

Wallop Software offers a full, solution-based approach by providing its customers consulting, training and support services in addition to products. Wallop and its partners offer WebCampTM, an intensive three-day course designed to jump-start developers in their efforts to build business applications.
