SMARTMODEŽ ENTERPRISE JSP RAPID APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT TOOLS ENTER BETA

San Francisco, CA --May 7, 2001-- SmartMode announced today that the
SmartMode Suite can now be downloaded for beta testing. The suite provides
developers of JavaServer Pages (JSP) with a sure-fire way to build high
performance web sites. SmartMode enables JSP developers to build a dynamic,
interactive web site and have it up and running in minutes - literally at
the touch of a button. Using the SmartMode Tools, building dynamic websites
with distinct display, business logic, and database layers - based on
industry standards including XML, CSS, J2EE and Java is as easy as building
static websites.
"SmartMode has significantly cut my team's development time while flattening
the JSP learning curve," said Geoff Apps, CTO of the BEAP Group. "We have
built incredibly scalable sites for our clients in record time." 
SmartMode is targeted to a broad range of JSP developers from HTML designers
to Java architects and database administrators. SmartMode provides the
fastest, most scalable tools to manage site maps, create multi-screen
wizards, and map between Java objects and SQL databases. Using the SmartMode
suite, developers can reduce development time and costs by 50%.
"Over the last 18 months we've taken the best practices and methodologies of
high performance web development teams and distilled them into rapid
application development tools for JSP developers," says Brion Bonkowski,
Managing Director of SmartMode. "We are excited about making SmartMode
available to the public in this beta release and look forward to getting
feedback from the development community."
SmartMode was created by an award winning development team for use in
building high performance B2B and B2C web sites with rigorous client demands
and rapid time to market deadlines.
