PreEmptive Solutions Launches Entrepreneur Program for Software Startups

Eleven companies join Program in desire to protect IP, secure their applications and preserve company value

 

Cleveland, Ohio - May 23, 2006

PreEmptive Solutions, suppliers of the leading Enterprise Obfuscation Solution for the Microsoft .NET environment and Java, announced today the launch of the PreEmptive Entrepreneur Program. Featuring special pricing, service and communication opportunities, the initiative is designed to offer the same premier protection and control to startup software development teams that larger enterprise clients currently enjoy.

"At PreEmptive, we know how much hard work is required to launch a successful software offering," said Gabriel Torok, President of PreEmptive Solutions. "The PreEmptive Entrepreneur Program encourages the entrepreneurial spirit by helping ensure that the intellectual property and sweat equity which drives new companies is properly secured."

"Companies taking advantage of the program include classic startups as well as more established businesses launching initial .NET or Java offerings," continued Torok. "Source code extraction is a common practice for .NET and Java developers and for those that must control access to their source code, effective obfuscation is as necessary as putting a lock on the front door of the office."

Eleven companies have already joined the Entrepreneur Program, including:

  • Advance Guard Software (www.docdockdocuments.com) - Develops secure web-enabled document management software.

  • Double Century Software (www.doublecenturysoftware.com)- Supplies audio video dealers with high capacity CD ripping solutions for loading of mp3 players, digital media servers, and other music-related products.

  • GoOnline (www.go-online.no) - Offers CRM, newsletter and e-commerce solutions specifically targeting Norwegian corporations, consumers and financial institutions.

  • Hyperquest (www.hyperquest.com) - Provides clients decision support solutions for automotive insurance claims processing.

  • InstinctCode (www.instinctcode.net)  - Develops software used for complex system simulation.

  • SaTabs Software Corporation - Develops market research analysis tools around its proprietary SaTabsSM Processing Engine technology.

  • Talario (www.talario.com) - Provides digital writing products and services.

  • Welis, LLC (www.welis.com) - Develops illustration and administration software for the life insurance and annuity industry.

  • Zomina (www.zomina.com) - Develops advanced technology components.

"As a software boutique, we rely on other companies to provide us with best-of-breed solutions," said Craig Kelker, President of Double Century Software. "We found PreEmptive to be a world-class application security company, so we don't have to be."

Gary Potts, Chief Information Officer, SaTabs Software Corporation said, "We provide our software offerings as a service over the public internet and rely on PreEmptive's Dotfuscator product to protect the money, time, and 55-plus combined years of business know-how that have been invested into our SaTabsSM Processing Engine. Protecting our IP was the primary rationale for obfuscation, but the additional benefits of size reduction and potentially faster execution were also important to us."

Ervin-Dawson Warner, Founder of Zomina commented, "Zomina LLC develops and markets enhancements for modern systems. Most of our software development is done using the Microsoft .NET Framework to ensure fast, efficient, and secure software deployments into the market as quickly as we can innovate. Because we use PreEmptive's Dotfuscator Pro, we are confident that the intellectual property we incorporate into our software remains safe."

In addition to special business terms, PreEmptive will work to showcase the development efforts, innovations and best practices of Entrepreneur Program participants through webinars, newsletters and other public forums. "Quality has always been an essential ingredient for any successful software development endeavor," said Sebastian Holst, Sales and Marketing Senior Vice President for PreEmptive Solutions. "In today's world, that must include a thorough and deliberate application of security controls. Entrepreneur Program participants are protecting both the value of their businesses and the security of their clients."
