Corda Technologies Releases PopChart Version 4.0

New 4.0 Version of Charting/Graphing Solution Ready for Web Services Including .NET and Java with Support for XML Standards LINDON, Utah March 4, 2002 CORDA Technologies Inc., a Lindon-based developer of dynamic, interactive, Web-based charting and graphing solutions, Monday announced the new 4.0 Version of its PopChart server products.

Corda has added many additional features to this major upgrade that increase the benefit to the IT professional as well as the end user of the charts and graphs. PopChart 4.0 is available now.

PopChart 4.0 is ready for the rapidly emerging Web Services market including .NET and Java with end-to-end support of XML. Through XML, information can be easily extracted and exchanged between databases, enhancing e-commerce and business intelligence applications. PopChart 4.0 allows users to deliver and utilize charts and graphs as a Web Service.

Neal Williams, chief executive officer of Corda, said, ``I am excited about the new additions to our products. We have provided benefits to everyone that uses PopChart from the IT technician responsible for installation, to the IT manager responsible for implementation, to the person using the charts and graphs to understand mission critical data.

``I am proud of Corda's success and continued industry-leading charting and graphing solutions.''

Managers today are buried with mountains of crucial data that they are expected to understand and take into account when making decisions. Visualization of that data is key to understanding. In PopChart 4.0, data visualization has been enhanced by inclusion of PDF and EPS output. This output allows users to easily create clean, crisp charts and graphs within PDF reports for viewing and printing.

The visual appeal of chart presentation has also been enhanced in PopChart 4.0 with the ability to directly import background images.

The IT professional will appreciate the new administration console that facilitates deployment, monitoring and maintenance of PopChart. Server uptime availability is strengthened with PopChart's advanced clustering support and server failover.

Chart and graph creation is made easy and intuitive with the visual design and template creation tool, PopChart Builder. The new 4.0 version of Builder includes a Windows True Type font converter that provides full double-byte support for international language symbols. PopChart's direct database connectivity permits a developer to connect directly to a database from PopChart.

All of the new features serve to augment the outstanding features that are already a part of the PopChart family. PopChart provides Flash and SVG images that have drilldown and popup features to assist in navigating through data. There is wireless and handheld support using WBMP output.

PopChart works with any database and any browser, and with Best Image Fallback, the highest quality image is always delivered to the browser. Many different graphs types are supported in both vector and bitmap images. All graphs and charts can easily be configured to be 508 compliant with descriptive text that permits the visually impaired to have the information read to them by a screen reader.
