BulletProof Announces the Development Contract, Helps Java Novices And Developers Achieve Success

LOS GATOS, Calif., Jan. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- BulletProof Corporation, a top provider of Java development tools, announced today the Development Contract, a new service for helping Java developers, beginner and expert, to create applications with BulletProof's JDesigrerPro(TM) development system. The BulletProof Development Contract, available now, has proven valuable for IT developers who need to deploy Intranet applications on limited resources. These Intranet developers are able to substantially decrease the time to completion with a small team and at low cost. More information and a free trial download of JDesignerPro are available at http://www.bulletproof.com/.

"We needed to deploy a Web-based customer information tracking application for our financial advisors," said Matthew Keogler a developer at Sun America, Inc., a major investment firm. "Using BulletProof's Development Contract and JDesignerPro we got the application piloted, finished and deployed in 4 months with only two developers who hadn't touched Java before."

"BulletProof's Development Contract is a great service. Using it in conjunction with JDesignerPro allowed us to finish our Intranet application very quickly with limited resources," stated Don Sumner, IT Manager at ABCO Boilers, Inc., a manufacturer of industrial machines. "I recommend both JDesignerPro and the Development Contract to anyone building Intranet business applications over corporate data."

Unlike with a typical support contract, BulletProof actually helps to plan and develop the application. BulletProof will help the customer on the phone or even off-line, developing the modules for them.

"Since we started offering the Development Contract the response from customers has been overwhelmingly positive," said Peter Muller, a Director at BulletProof Corporation. "Corporate developers see that Java is the way to go but don't want to train or hire a large team from scratch. They now have BulletProof's Java expertise at their fingertips."

JDesignerPro is compatible with: Netscape FastTrack, SuiteSpot, Netscape One, the Communicator, Microsoft Windows NT, Internet Explorer, Visual J++, Symantec Cafe, Oracle(R), Informix(R), Sybase(R), Sun Microsystems Netra servers and the JavaStation.

BulletProof Corporation, based in Los Gatos, California, has been a pioneer in Java technology since 1995. The company's partners include Sun Microsystems, JavaSoft, Microsoft, Netscape, IBM and other major players. Visit BulletProof at http://www.bulletproof.com/.
