PreEmptive Solutions Announces Universal Support for Microsoft Silverlight

Dotfuscator and Runtime Intelligence Support Silverlight Across Full Spectrum of Versions, Deployment Configurations and Platforms to Offer Developers, Designers and Architects Universal Means to Monitor and Protect Silverlight Application Assets

MICROSOFT TECH-ED CONFERENCE, NEW ORLEANS, LA, June 8, 2010 -– PreEmptive Solutions, a leading provider of solutions to measure, manage, and protect applications, announced today that Dotfuscator and Runtime Intelligence offer the industry’s first universal means to monitor and protect Microsoft Silverlight applications.

Universal support means that PreEmptive’s Dotfuscator and Runtime Intelligence offer the ability to:

  • Inject analytics into Silverlight assemblies with no programming or access to source code to help developers and architects improve software quality and user experience;
  • Integrate web analytics through Expression Blend and the Silverlight Analytics Framework to help designers fine tune web application design and value;
  • Compress and link Silverlight assemblies to optimize load time and performance;
  • Obfuscate Silverlight assemblies to protect Intellectual Property and prevent tampering; and
  • Process XAP files and automatically re-sign assemblies to automate and streamline the build process.
Universal support includes:

  • Deployment from any server including the Windows Azure Platform to any client including mobile platforms and out-of-browser implementations;
  • Silverlight versions 2 through 4;
  • Visual Studio versions 2003 through 2010 and versions 1.1 through 4.0 of the .NET Framework; and
  • Expression Blend versions 3 and 4 .

“Silverlight’s power stems in large part from its ability to span devices and deployment models,” said Gabriel Torok, President of PreEmptive Solutions. “Our Runtime Intelligence offers developers and IT leadership the unique ability to monitor and measure application impact across these diverse scenarios while Dotfuscator ensures that their development investments are secure and efficient.”

“Lack of awareness of usability and lack of adoption of user-centered design processes and metrics-based validation mean that most enterprises will be RIA-enabled but ‘ROI blind.’ They won't know whether they have achieved positive ROI, because they don’t have the processes and tools to capture and analyze objective data about user behavior.” Gartner, Inc. Predicts 2010: Web Technologies Evolve in Multiple Dimensions: Mobile, Social and Real Time, Ray Valdes et al, December 14, 2009.

“The central role of Silverlight is still only just emerging,” said Sebastian Holst, chief marketing officer at PreEmptive Solutions. “Recent, early successes extending analytics and protection to Windows Mobile 7 and into XAML resources outside of Silverlight assemblies have only served to reinforce the criticality of being able to measure user experience and secure applications across both physical layers and form factors.”
