GS Corp and Industry Partners Release Solutions Suite CD-ROM
New Distribution Channel Concept Integrates Multimedia Literature,
Demos and Products
San Francisco-May 10, 1994-GS Corporation announced today that it
will begin mass distribution of the Solutions Suite CD-ROM at
NEXTSTEP Expo, June 20-23. The Solutions Suite CD-ROM is an
interactive magazine that presents information from NeXT Computer,
Inc. and product offerings from Canon, HP, Sun, GS Corp. and
NEXTSTEP third-party vendors to provide robust desktop
enterprise-computing solutions to Fortune 1000 corporate and
government customers. Copies of the Solutions Suite CD-ROM will
be available at NEXTSTEP Expo, held at Moscone Center in San
Francisco.
In seeking to define a cutting-edge marketing strategy as
innovative as NEXTSTEP's object-oriented frameworks, Solutions
Suite was designed so that "the literature is the demo is the
product is the distribution channel," says Lauren Flanegan, GS
president and co-founder.
"The Solutions Suite CD-ROM provides a demonstration of some of
the best products in their categories available on the NEXTSTEP
platform," said Warren Weiss, vice president of worldwide sales
and services for NeXT Computer, Inc. "Using innovative solutions
such as these, corporate and government customers can gain the
benefits of productivity and custom applications on their
desktop."
Solutions Suite, to be published quarterly, leads users through an
interactive slide show that showcases the interoperability of
NEXTSTEP applications, including GS' Products, eXTRAREAD,
eXTRASCAN, eXTRAPRINT, eXTRASLIDE, eXTRASET and eXTRACOLOR; Altsys
Virtuoso, Anderson Financial Systems' WriteUp; Athena Design's
Mesa spreadsheet; RDR's @Image; and Conextions' 3270 Interface
Builder, 3270Vision, 3270Toolkit, 5250Vision, 5250 Palette,
5250Toolkit and CoaxAccess-PC. GS Corp.'s Collaggi Palette
provides the unifying interface and aids interoperability among
the applications. Products are demonstrated in sessions built with
Otherwise's WatchMe. Disabled product versions are contained on
Collaggi Palette, allowing users to "try before they buy".
Each edition will look at enterprise re-engineering in industries
making the transition from mainframes to client/server solutions
based on NEXTSTEP. These solutions include a combination of
custom, shrinkwrapped and modular software. Users will be able to
purchase, unlock and install software directly from the CD-ROM.
Customers using Macintosh- and Windows-based computers can view a
MacroMedia Director movie or view pages from the Solutions Suite
presentation that are stored on the CD-ROM in the cross-platform
Adobe Acrobat format.
After NEXTSTEP Expo, subscriptions to Solutions Suite will be
available for $40 a year or $10 for individual issues. It will be
available through GS, Canon and third parties.
