Reston, VA (PRWEB) August 19, 2009

CorasWorks Corporation, a leading provider of software that makes it easier to develop applications on Microsoft SharePoint, today released the AppEngine for SharePoint, Powered by CorasWorks. The AppEngine is an innovative runtime environment for SharePoint that allows users to download and run plug-and-play business apps from CorasWorks and its application publisher partners, or custom built applications from third-party service providers.

CorasWorks is best known for its Modular Application Development System, which enables organizations to design, build and manage applications in SharePoint without the costs and complexity of custom code development. The purpose of the AppEngine for SharePoint is to accelerate the accessibility and adoption of plug-and-play apps for SharePoint and allow organizations to gain immediate business value through the applications.

"With the new AppEngine for SharePoint, we are enabling the application market for SharePoint," said Gary Voight, President and CEO of CorasWorks. "As we talk to organizations that are investing in SharePoint, one theme we continually hear is their desire to get immediate business value beyond file sharing, team collaboration, and basic web parts. The AppEngine, with our plug-and-play apps and those from our partners, allows these organizations to realize that value by having robust business apps up and running in minutes and at a cost far lower than what they are used to paying."

The low-cost runtime app engine includes customization wizards so organizations can tailor the plug-and-play apps to meet their specific needs. It also supports multiple apps from multiple vendors, enables "DLL-free" apps, and allows organizations to run and connect business apps, such as a department dashboard, help desk, purchase request, time off management, project portfolio management and more.

The AppEngine for Sharepoint and plug-and-play business apps can be purchased and downloaded from the CorasWorks App Store. The AppEngine for SharePoint sells for $ 4,000 for the first server and just $ 8,000 for unlimited servers and unlimited users on a web farm.

IRIS Distribution & Txttunes Create Innovative Partnership

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) December 10, 2007

Txttunes, a mobile music community (http://www.txttunes.com) and IRIS Distribution, a leading distributor of independent music (http://www.irisdistribution.com) have partnered to provide a range of wireless solutions to the IRIS stable of artists and independent recording labels.

Txttunes recently launched a new payment system where fans can download a full track MP3 to their PC/Mac and charge it to their cell phone account rather than using a credit card. Statistics show that 90% of teenagers don't own a credit card, and the connection between the cell phone and the Internet is where generation Y is focused.

In addition, Txttunes artists and labels can create their own wireless communities and fan clubs. Bands are also offered the opportunity to personally select their 30-second previews, which automatically offers a fan a ringtone option.

Also available is the Txttunes widget, where bands can upload tracks to a social networking site, customize the artwork, and with ease a fan then enters their cell number into the widget clicks "purchase" and the track is downloaded to their PC/Mac immediately.

IRIS co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer Bryn Boughton stated, "Exploring innovative ways to expose our labels and artists to new listeners is important to us, and Txttunes now provides us with several options to do that. We're excited to further our market reach within the mobile community."

Matt Coleman, CEO of Txttunes, stated, "We are an avid supporter of the independent music community and both our companies are paving a new business model for the music industry. The wireless platform connects 200 million cell phones and is an industry first. The reaction from the labels has been fantastic, having signed over 15,000 already to the service."

About Txttunes Inc:

Txttunes combines the mobile phone with a global music community. Txttunes offers independent artists and labels a unique opportunity to publish their music online and have direct contact with fans through wireless communication.
