HYPERWAVE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT KIT

Hyperwave now offers a powerful developer tool for the Hyperwave Information Server and the Hyperwave eKnowledge Portal.

October 18, 2000

Hyperwave AG announced the immediate availability of a Software Development Kit (SDK) for the Hyperwave Information Server and Hyperwave eKnowledge Portal. The SDK reduces the cost of developing customized, scalable knowledge and content management solutions on Intranets, Extranets, and the Internet. The Application Programming Interface (API) of the Hyperwave SDK integrates the Hyperwave Information Server into existing systems - enabling a seamless link between content and knowledge management and existing business processes.

Flexible Development Environment

The Hyperwave SDK is a collection of high performance tools based on C++, COM (programmable in C++, Visual Basic) and Java. Developers gain access to all the operations of the Hyperwave Information Server and its database layer through compliant applications. This enables easy adaptation to individual requirements and integration into existing applications. The tools to analyse access to documents or hyperlinks statistically, or to move documents automatically from the server database to an archive are just two examples of new functionality.

In addition to the API, the SDK comes with a complete reference guide and numerous examples in various programming languages. A Quickstart guide delivered with the SDK provides a short tutorial by using a complete programmed example. The Quickstart shows you how to use the Hyperwave API for C++, Visual Basic and Java.

Portability

Applications built with the Hyperwave SDK can be run on any number of Hyperwave servers. The Hyperwave SDK is platform independent and allows heterogeneous client-server systems to be set up. Using a Windows client, for example, it is possible to access data and functions of a Hyperwave Information Server running under UNIX, NT, Windows 2000 and even Linux.

The Hyperwave SDK, is the logical extension of Hyperwave's platform strategy: "Our aim is to make programming as simple as possible, by using software standards and open interfaces for adapting our products to company-specific needs," says Dr. Frank Kappe, CTO and Chairman of Hyperwave AG. "This accelerates the integration of content and knowledge management into existing business processes, and allows companies to turn their e-business vision into reality a lot quicker,"
