Centura Software launches new Online Community
Munich, Dezember 9th, 1998) - Centura Software Corporation (NASDAQ: CNTR), today announces the launch of its new Web
site (www.centurasoftware.com), demonstrating the company's commitment to building a community for developers to congregate on-line, solve problems and exchange information. Centura's new site provides a robust and efficient forum for developers to communicate with other developers and Centura employees around the world who are implementing solutions using embedded databases, application development tools and the Web. The site is divided into specific communities and registration is free, providing access to extensive code and development information.According to Kathy Lane, senior vice president of strategic marketing alliances for Centura, "With this complete re-design of the Web site, our developers and partners now have an invaluable network of brainpower and insight through peer-to-peer communication and access to the latest product enhancement and upgrade information. Our new Web site offers this support and centralized technical information to maximize the efficiency for developers who use the Internet as their primary vehicle for gathering information to overcome the ongoing challenges associated with development."
The new site places critical information two clicks away from the user at all times, by employing a clear and concise navigation structure. The site has been completely re-engineered with respect to graphics, branding, content, technical and conceptual elements. For example, the Developer's Library portion of the site includes code for CTD (Centura Team Developer) which is Centura's 4GL, object-oriented development tool, designed to maximize a developer's investment in developing business logic code.
On November 10th, from 3:30-4:30 PM (PST), Centura CEO Scott Broomfield will be on-line in the new site's community chat area, http://www.centurasoftware.com/community/, to demonstrate the power of the site's interactivity. Scott will welcome discussion surrounding our recent Q3 financial results, near-term product futures, and our increased customer focus.
