Unstrung.com Names Lutris Technologies To The Unstrung 25 List Of The
Wireless Industry's Best Companies 


 

Open Source Software Development Methodology Cited as Competitive Advantage 
 
 
SANTA CRUZ, Calif., -- May 22, 2001 -- Lutris Technologies Inc., a leading
provider of application server technology for wired and wireless development
and deployment, today announced that it has been chosen by Unstrung.com as
one of the 25 most innovative companies in the wireless industry.  The
Unstrung 25 represents a collection of companies that is cutting through the
public relations hype and delivering on the promise of universally
accessible Web applications today.  Lutris was named to the Unstrung 25
after nearly a year of evaluation by the Unstrung staff. 
 
Lutris Technologies is the creator of the Lutris Enhydra application server,
a protocol and device independent application server designed to deliver Web
applications to both wired and wireless devices in the broadest global
markets.  Lutris used an open source software development methodology to
create the strongest and most flexible product available for the building of
applications accessible by any device.  
 
"Lutris is one of the few companies in the wireless space to embrace the
open source movement," said Josh Newman, president and editor of
Unstrung.com.   "In a sector where many solutions sound the same, CTO's are
looking for the edge in quality. Open source should give Lutris that edge."
 
By drawing upon the strengths of a global community of software developers,
Lutris has created a universal tool that supports both wired and wireless
clients.  Lutris Enhydra leverages Java and XML to create an extensible,
device independent architecture designed for current and future Web
presentation technologies, and a single Lutris Enhydra application can
easily deliver content to any client, including HTML, WML, XHTML, cHTML,
VoiceXML and Java devices.  In addition, Lutris Enhydra supports all of the
Globe's major wireless protocols, including WAP, CDMA, GSM, CDPD and others.

 
"Lutris is honored to take its place among the 25 companies Unstrung has
chosen to recognize," said Yancy Lind, president and CEO of Lutris
Technologies.  "By embracing an open source software development
methodology, Lutris has created a truly unique product in the industry, one
that is delivering on the promise of an Internet that is accessible
anywhere, anytime."
