CyberTools, Inc. is pleased to announce the release of Version 15 of the CyberTools development tools suite in October, 1999. With Version 15, CyberTools expands its "build-it-once" paradigm to include enhanced Java/web performance, while maintaining compatibility with Microsoft Windows and telnet environments.
CyberTools is the only full client/server solution for M and the web, and Version 15 is a high performance web solution for M Technology. This high performance results from CyberTools' delivery of all client/server transactions in a single IP packet: CyberTools engineers around poor internet performance for faster application responsiveness. Built in Java and fully integrated with HTML, Version 15 avoids the web server latency in HTML content requests common in pure HTML solutions.
CyberTools is a privately held Massachusetts corporation that develops and licenses a technically rich cross-platform User Interface Management System (UIMS), used by more than 1000 developers and hundreds of thousands of end-users worldwide. CyberTools' "build-it-once" approach to Java/Web, Microsoft Windows and telnet environments promotes easy re-tooling and code re-use, and high integrity, mission-critical performance.

Georgetown University Medical Center/Dahlgren Memorial Library and CyberTools, Inc. are pleased to announce the acquisition of the Georgetown University Medical Center Library Information System (LIS) by CyberTools, Inc. in February, 1998. LIS has been renamed "CyberTools for Libraries".
CyberTools is also pleased to announce that CyberTools for Libraries is now shipping since its release in December, 1999. Several former LIS sites have already completed installation; at the same time, CyberTools for Libraries is also currently being installed in new library customer sites, including the CareGroup Healthcare System, a six-hospital network which includes Boston's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, as well as in other hospitals across the U.S.
One of the first integrated library information systems tailored to meet the unique needs of medical libraries, it features strategic strength in journals (serials) management as well as in integration with the National Library of Medicine. Mark Roux, President of CyberTools, states: "CyberTools for Libraries began as a fundamentally sound application with a faithful customer base. CyberTools' expertise is in applying web, GUI, and SQL technology to such applications. This acquisition is a good fit between CyberTools and the library customer base: the system is now a showcase web-GUI-client/server application, thus allowing us to further penetrate the medical library market, as well as to broaden the system's applicable market to include other journal-based libraries. Since our founding in 1986, CyberTools has built its business on long-term customer relationships. We now aim to provide value to our library users in response to their years of commitment to Georgetown University's LIS."

ESI Technology Corp., Natick, MA. has been contracted by the Veteran’s Administration to implement the CORBAmed specification for the Clinical Observation Access Service (COAS). COAS specifies the interfaces between a client and server for the requesting of clinical observations. ESI has implemented a CORBA ORB along with a COAS Server implementation which handles COAS requests from CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) clients. This result is an open, standard interface in the VA’s VISTA System.
ESI will be demonstrating this ORB connectivity and the VA/VISTA CORBAMed implementation at the HIMSS Conference on April 9-12 in Dallas, Texas. The EsiObjectsTM ORB communicates with client ORB’s (such as Iona’a OrbixWeb) sending COAS requests. ESI will demonstrate how a typical legacy M system can be opened to modern CORBA applications. For more information about CORBA, Object Oriented Programming, training or consulting services, please check our web site. www.esitechnology.com or call 508-651-1400.
