Alchemy CATALYST™ 4.0:Server Edition enables web services and workflow paradigms

DUBLIN – October 14, 2002 – Alchemy Software Development, the market leader in globalization solutions, announces the availability of Alchemy CATALYST™ 4.0: Server Edition. Designed to seamlessly integrate with workflow and web based technologies, it will enable 3rd Party technology developers to embed the functionality of Alchemy CATALYST™ 4.0 within their own workflow and WEB based applications.

“When you consider that most localization activities are fragmented geographically and spread across a number of different functional groups, the localization workflow clearly presents an opportunity to optimize resources and reduce cost”, said Tony O'Dowd, CEO and President of Alchemy Software Development Ltd. “with our Server Edition, 3rd party technology companies can now quickly embed CATALYST™ functionality within their own workflow technologies, creating a new generation of solutions for their corporate and enterprise customers”.

Eugene McGinty CEO of Connect Global Solutions says: “Our Goal is to deliver more value to our customers by automating many of the manual steps involved in the localization process using best of breed technologies such as Alchemy CATALYST™ and making these available to our customers using Web Services. We are particularly interested in Alchemy's .NET strategy and feel it fits in very well with our offerings in the enterprise computing space.”
