Presenting Companies
FairSoftware
FairSoftware is the place to start and grow a virtual online business. It only takes a few clicks for software developers and website publishers to incorporate, hire and share revenue with other project members. FairSoftware is powered by the "Software Bill Of Rights", a legally sound contract in which virtual "shares" represent decision-making and revenue-sharing rights. This new virtual share concept makes it easy to give shares to anyone who helps out in some way, large or small. People are hired with shares instead of cash, growing a team that is committed to the project's success. It costs nothing to incorporate or issue shares. Bloggers, designers and developers can use FairSoftware to grow their business by working together online, without having to deal with the complexity and limitations of traditional corporations. |
Yammer
Yammer is a tool for making companies and organizations more productive through the exchange of short frequent answers to one simple question: "What are you working on?" As employees answer that question, a feed is created in one central location enabling co-workers to discuss ideas, post news, ask questions, and share links and other information. Yammer also serves as a company directory in which every employee has a profile and as a knowledge base where past conversations can be easily accessed and referenced. Anyone in a company can start their Yammer network and begin inviting colleagues. The privacy of each network is ensured by limiting access to those with a valid company email address. The basic Yammer service is free. Companies can pay to claim and administer their network |
Connective Logic
Developing software to fully exploit multi-core CPUs is technically challenging and current development tools in the market are widely acknowledged to be inadequate. Connective Logic has created the Blueprint software development platform which, along with our real-time middleware, enables software developers to design, code generate and deploy very complex multi-core software applications without requiring expertise in the field of multi-threaded software. Blueprint enables software that scales out over any number of CPU cores and networked computers, and ensures optimal load balancing and CPU utilisation. Blueprint delivers significant reductions in software development costs, dramatically reduces time-to-market, lowers software development risk, improves application performance, safeguards investment in existing sequential code, reduces dependency on scarce multithreading experts and significantly reduces lock-in to operating systems and hardware platforms. Blueprint and its underlying middleware are unique in the market place. The middleware has been proven in very demanding production systems within the UK Defence Industry. |
Devunity
Devunity provides an online platform for developers to write code in a revolutionary new approach. Devunity has developed an innovative browser based online code editor which answers the needs of developers this day an age. Devunity can appreciate that every developer has its own expertise, his own goals and requirements and therefore it doesn't force the developer to use proprietary layer but to develop in his own favorite language and protocol. The coding environment is compatible with major development sites, popular API's are embedded in the service and the developer gets maximum freedom coding his project. |
Rinen
OpenTrace is a brand new environmental infrastructure that aggregates product materials' information from bottom up and dynamically calculates the environmental load to indicate them. Existing indicators are well-authenticated, but are complex and static when calculating the environmental load, so it costs us much money and time. OpenTrace approaches to this problem from a totally different aspect which is simple and free for use. Based on simple and flexible calculation method, it provides many environmental tools to meet users' needs. It makes not only the producers happy, but also makes the customers happy. Even small manufacturers can calculate the environmental effects and put labels on their products, so consumers can select better products by comparing huge amount of products based on a stable standard. In other word, it creates a huge material database like Wikipedia creates database of knowledge. This service was created by a Japanese start-up company, RINEN. |
