Last week was a double whammy for RIA (Rich Internet Application) developers of Flash or Silverlight applications. Adobe announced that it was stopping the development of Flash for mobile, which will bring the inevitable end of Flash-based applications. In the same vein, Microsoft reported it was abandoning the development of Silverlight after the ...

Today is exactly 4-months since Atalasoft become a Kofax company. Many of you have asked me how it’s going. The truth is it’s going very well and I’m learning a lot, but not without its challenges. As General Manager, my job is to keep managing the business for growth and profitability. Even though our revenues are relatively small compared to ...

Today, Atalasoft announced it is being acquired by Kofax, a publically traded software company and the market leader in the Document Capture space. As you may know, I founded the company in 2002, and bootstrapped it all the way. We never took outside funding, and grew the company by differentiating in an already established imaging SDK market. ...

Just over eight years ago, I left my job as a mechanical systems engineer at Hamilton Sundstrand on the hunch that I could build a successful software company. I learned a lot working in a large aerospace company, and was proud of my work. My last job was a systems engineer on the Convergent Nozzle Actuation System (CNAS) for the Joint Strike ...

Today, Atalasoft released Vizit 3.0 and we claim it will save a typical organization $2.5 million. It’s an outlandish claim, but we do cite IDC to back it up. Obviously, one has to take this information for what it’s worth and process it for their own situation. It might not ACTUALLY save your organization $2.5 million, but it WILL save you money. ...

As 2009 comes to a close, I want to take this opportunity to wish you a happy holiday and thank you. You have helped fulfill my vision when I set out on this entrepreneurial journey ten years ago. That vision was to become the leading provider of .NET document imaging toolkits backed by remarkable in-house customer service. With thousands of SDKs ...

A critical piece of any ECM is robust search capabilities. With SharePoint 2007, Microsoft scores well in search according to Gartner in their ECM Magic Quadrant, but will fair even better next year with the enhanced search features in SharePoint 2010. Atalasoft has recognized the need to improve the retrieval of documents in SharePoint by ...

The 2009 SharePoint Conference was held last week in Las Vegas where Microsoft publically unveiled the new capabilities of SharePoint 2010.  This is the first event I can remember where the number of attendees was actually greater than advertised (7400+) and sold out 2 weeks before. This is coming off the announcement that despite the ...

This is really more about the environment that the viewer is installed in and how our technology is leverated in that environment. Just like the fact we charge for each server that our products are deployed to, we charge an incremetal fee from going to 2, to 4, to 8 cores. Instead of needing 2 servers to serve a few hundred simultanious users, ...

If your application is being hosted by ASP.NET, then the IIS Service is leveraging ALL cores on that server. Your application will be able to support more simultanious users the more CPU cores that the server has, without buying more servers. You can restrict the number of cores that a Windows server uses in a virtual machine. Not sure if you can ...
