PRESS RELEASE

CodeFutures Announces General Availability of FireStorm/DAO™ 2.0 Enterprise Edition

[London, UK, December 8, 2003] The award-winning FireStorm/DAO™ is used by corporate Java software developers to generate the business logic for accessing relational databases in service-oriented and object-oriented architectures. The Enterprise Edition of FireStorm/DAO™ provides the choice of generating a Data Access Object (DAO) tier using either JDBC, Java Persistence API (JPA), or Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB).

"The key to successful software development projects is increasing productivity and removing unnecessary time and cost. Using FireStorm/DAO™, our customer saved three months of development effort on a Web Services project by generating the persistence tier for a 500-table legacy database in a matter of minutes. Now that's productivity." Annrai O'Toole, CEO - Cape Clear Software.

"Being a cutting edge business and technology consulting company, delivering quality solutions while meeting a tight time-line is key to winning our customers' loyalty and continual satisfaction. CodeFutures' Firestorm/DAO minimizes our effort in creating better business supporting systems by better separating the persistence layer in our solutions. It also reduces our maintenance effort tremendously." Stephen Chan of Accentrix Company Limited.

"FireStorm/DAO™ 2.0 Enterprise Edition offers the choice of generating the DAO tier using different technologies' explains Andy Grove, CodeFutures CTO, "This makes it easier for developers to find the best solution for their projects."
