CUSTOMER QUOTES

APGen

“We use APGen to build static pages on the fly -- anytime we update a product in our products database, we trigger a call to the APG page that spits out a static product page on our SoftwareToolbox.com website.  We also use it to build static directory pages that list all products of a certain type -- we then use those with special nice short aliases - i.e. http://www.softwaretoolbox.com/opc is one - that alias brings up a page that was built with APG and gets updated by our DB everytime the DB changes.

Benefits include:

Improved content management.  This gives us the best of both worlds -- static pages driven by database content that only changes infrequently.

Huge search engine jumps - go to yahoo.com and search on "AB ActiveX" -- we're #1 now - we used to be #2304865098 with dynamic pages -- as part of our APG page we build in keywords and descriptions that feed the search engines -- it took about 8 to 12 weeks after we rolled out the new site to see the results but now we are seeing them.

Ability to search index our whole site - we use the www.atomz.com search engine ASP -- the only reason that worked is because our product pages are static now using your technology.

Increased sales -- we're up 100% versus this time last year - up 30-35% since we rolled out our new site.  It's not ALL b/c of APG - sorry guys - we are good salespeople and marketers too -- but your product was one very KEY piece of the puzzle.”

“From a design point of view, pre-generating content allowed us more flexibility.  We were able to create content that would either be impossible or extremely costly if created in real-time on the Web server. ...  APGen is a development environment designed specifically for programmatically generating content. ...  APGen is a valuable and versatile development tool and in my opinion a must have for any professional Web developer.”

“(APGen) finally brings some common sense to the field of Web application development.”

Richard S. Tallent
Web Product Manager
IJNT.net
“Our group is using APGen on our intranet site to generate content from SQL and VSS databases.  The technique of "two phase content generation" solves the problems associated with using static HTML by separating content from presentation while still reaping the benefits of static HTML (performance, reliability, "friendlier URLs", etc.).  With APGen driving our site, we can now leverage our dynamic information sources to produce robust navigation experiences for our users.  Turning our dynamic site into a static site has reduced the problems associated with traditional database publishing techniques.”

Robert Ream
Web Developer
Microsoft
“APGen is a very useful tool if you are running a high-volume website that needs to display large amounts of infrequently changing data from a database.  We've used it to successfully pre-render "home pages" for over 560 locations on our website goldsgym.com.  The club owner/manager can update the information that appears on the "home-page".

Scalability is a primary benefit -- it definitely minimizes database and network traffic.”

Shane Edmonds
New Media Director
Fitness Venture Group
“We’re calling APGen from a custom VB app to rebuild Web sites on the fly. ... Benefits include more productivity, less coding (let the code do the coding), intrinsic backup of sites.

We use APGen on these sites:
  • www.emcert.com
  • www.adistek.com
  • www.hawkinsvinyl.com
  • www.foxworthrealty.com
to name a few... we use it on every Web project that comes in the door.  We also have an extensive company Intranet that was built using APGen.”

Richard S. Tallent

“We've found that APGen dramatically shortens our development cycle, and enables the performance required by large-scale projects which would not otherwise be possible using current ASP technology.”

Pete Farmer
Program Manager
Zurich Financial Services
“I work for a Portuguese bank in the Intranet department and I'm using APGen to generate HTML and ASP pages based on several databases.

One of the situations is to generate ASP pages to maintain ( update, insert, delete ) several tables from a SQL Server database.  Based on a DCOM component that I've developed I read the SQL Server table structure and generate the code to make all the usual database operations.

I'm using it also to generate DHTML code.  The beauty of APGen is that it's VBscript based so it's very easy to work with.  Nice job.”

ASPCache

“ASPCache is 400 to 500 times faster than our previous collection object. This has been verified in a loop with 10,000 iterations and includes both reading and writing data.”

Stefan Eiselt
Internet Product Manager
IRes GmbH, Munich, Germany
“We're now using ASPCache and have seen great performance improvements.”

Peter G. Williams
IS Systems Architecture
Scottish Life Assurance Company
“Absolutely no problems, in fact, a cheer went up from our development team when I walked in with ASPCache and a converted copy of one of our retail sites. ... Good work guys! - Not often I can take a new component, and within 2-3 hours, have one of our websites running perfectly! Kudos!”

Justin Twiss
Senior Systems Engineer
“Performance testing with ASPCache shows impressive numbers…”

Jeremy Gray
Senior Software Architect

Consulting Services

“Our Web CPUs are way down (<10% now) - Session Less stuff is cool - mem usage is down 200MB. I think we can comfortably handle 2.5 times our existing loads. ...  Needless to mention, your services were just amazing - nobody (repeat nobody) could have done a better job!”
