I'm ready to add a few stocks! How about BGEN as a daily play. It goes up and down right now several times an hour. Another is MAT which seems to be returning slowly as a long term investment. How can new stock threads be added?
TAME is a platform independent, server side, interpretative programming language that is compatible with Unix, Linux, Microsoft Windows NT and virtually every major operating system. The scope and functionality of the language can be compared to Java, Javascript, or Visual Basic. In addition, TAME can work side by side with any of these programming languages.
TAME also has full compatibility with XML (eXtensible Markup Language), the website programming language that has quickly become the de facto standard for electronic business information. XML is easy to learn, easily extensible to support new data attributes and flexible enough to represent any information.
Unlike many competing software programs that use HyperText Markup Language (HTML), TAME's XML compatibility allows its users to develop, build and modify their websites regardless of their existing programming language, operating system, server system or Internet browser. TAME acts like glue, creating a layer between users and the systems they must interact with and binds them together.
TAME has achieved acceptance into the EMC Proven Program. Acceptance into the EMC Proven Program indicates that VirtualSellers.com's IT infrastructure has passed a rigorous review of its ability to support the operational needs of an Internet-based business or service and has the enterprise storage resources necessary to operate at peak efficiency, adapt to a constantly changing business climate and easily mange Internet-driver growth. EMC Proven E-Infostructure Program benefits give VirtualSellers.com the right to display the EMC Proven E-Infostructure logo in its printed and electronic media, allowing it to add value and market differentiation in the products and services it offers customers. In addition, VirtualSellers.com will be included in a number of EMC-driven marketing initiatives. Such acceptance will allow the Company to benefit from EMC's vendor network in generating sales for both TAME and Virtualsellers.com.
The Company uses TAME to provide its transaction processing clients a quick, easy and seamless way to establish a presence on the Internet, and as the key facilitator for e-commerce solutions. With the software, a business can quickly, easily and seamlessly launch a new website, upgrade an existing one, add leading-edge shopping cart technology to a website, or add new services for its own customers. For those companies that already have websites, TAME gives them the opportunity to remain on the cutting edge of Internet technology without having to continuously invest in new software and hardware.
In addition to using TAME for its clients, the Company operates a high technology laboratory in the Chicago area that serves as the testing ground for TAME - both in terms of upgrading the software to keep pace with technology changes and to test new applications for clients. Through the operation of the lab, the Company ensures that new versions of and new applications for TAME are market-ready and real world tested.
Through its use of TAME, the Company and its development partners can deliver end-to-end e-business solutions based on an open, scalable architecture provided by the TAME development environment. This ability ensures that clients' existing business processes, intelligence and technology can be easily Web-enabled and integrated to support new online and offline business initiatives.
If, for example, a client decides to move to a different operating system, TAME can be installed and the applications can be seamlessly moved to their new home. TAME-enabled Web services link sites and applications together to perform functions that individual components alone are not able to perform.
TAME has many benefits and competitive advantages:
- Platform Independence. TAME is compatible with Unix, Linux, Microsoft Windows NT and virtually every other major computer operating system which simplifies Web and enterprise infrastructure development over clients' existing architectures.
- Flexibility. TAME enables applications to communicate with each other within the Web's infrastructure, and more importantly provides a framework for connecting websites and applications to create dynamic TAME-enabled Internet services.
- Ease of Use. TAME is quick and easy to learn and dramatically reduces coding time compared to other competing software languages.
- Reduction of Bandwidth Requirements. Because TAME processes data requests at the server side, only formatted data results are sent to the user's browser. In order to display a data-driven Internet web page, the browser must receive formatting information to control how the pages look. This savings in file size translates directly to savings in bandwidth. The less data being sent, the less bandwidth an application will require.
- Faster Loading. For users connected to the Internet via modems, TAME means dramatically faster loading of pages and for businesses hosting websites on dedicated (and expensive) Internet connections, it means lowered connection costs.
- TAME is XML-Enabled. Recently introduced, XML (extensible Markup Language) is acclaimed as the new standard in data sharing via the Internet. This technology breakthrough is also believed to be the replacement for current electronic data interchange (EDI) technology that many companies use for business-to-business transactions. Because XML is embedded in TAME, the time required to develop website tags is greatly reduced. TAME can access many dissimilar databases from different operating systems and provide a common interface to display the data. TAME includes a dynamic Internet web page engine and provides Internet access to databases, giving developers the ability to easily create solutions that can be deployed on all major operating systems and server environments, resolving common problems associated with many of today's non-XML Internet browsers.
- Browser Compatibility. Whereas most XML solutions require specific Internet browsers (such as MSIE 5.0), TAME XML will function on nearly all browsers, including lower versions of Netscape Navigator, MSIE, OPERA and AOL's proprietary browsers. This browser compatibility is a key advantage to TAME because industry standards for XML are still in their infancy. By not basing an XML strategy in loosely defined standards, TAME will be able to grow with the industry and in fact help drive that growth.
The TAME Shopping Cart
Much has been made recently about Internet shopping carts and the software that supports them. Shopping carts in general collect information about an online shopping session so orders can be calculated and managed. While simple shopping cart solutions stop there, more complex systems interface with other elements of the transaction process such as databases, inventory control systems, payment verification systems and accounting systems. These systems together make up the buying and selling process.
As it exists now, the TAME shopping cart can work fluidly as an XML solution, meaning that as XML becomes standardized, applications using TAME can adapt to the standards or create their own XML standards for a particular task. Because it uses XML, the TAME shopping cart is superior to other similar solutions available today because of its operating system compatibility, speed, development time and browser compatibility. Unlike many existing shopping cart programs, TAME XML-enabled systems can be deployed on virtually all operating system platforms.
Customers, Sales and Marketing
The Company markets and sells TAME to businesses using a combination of direct and indirect distribution channels, including the following:
- direct sales by its own staff through its outbound telemarketing program;
- sales through its website - www.tameable.com;
- sales through industry trade shows like COMDEX; and
- sales through reselling agreements with companies like RedHat Inc.
The Company intends to market and sell TAME using the following direct and indirect distribution channels:
- sales through strategic relationships with hardware vendors;
- direct sales to application service providers who in turn sell to their customers;
- direct sales to internet and other service providers who provide website development and e-commerce solutions;
- agents who develop or resell integrated solutions;
- organizations that use TAME to create websites and Web applications with electronic commerce, content management and personalization capabilities for Internet, intranet and extranet use; and
- sponsorship of seminars for potential customers and promoting special events.
The Company's website allows visitors to download, evaluate and purchase TAME. Electronic distribution provides the Company with a low-cost, globally accessible, 24-hour sales distribution channel. To date, many copies of an evaluation version of TAME have been downloaded from the Company's website.
The Company continues to develop market awareness of the "TAME" brand. The Company's branding strategy includes participating in trade shows and conferences, promoting special events and advertising its products and services in print and electronic media.
One example of a website built with TAME is www.webshoppersclub.com, a website that provides data in 13 languages and uses 24 currencies. Rather than replicating the same site in multiple languages, TAME allows the user to specify the parameters of the information desired such as language, currency or products, and then retrieves the data and delivers it. The result is an application that dynamically gathers, translates and displays information on the fly rather than accessing an existing page or converting existing content to fit the request. ......................................... My position is long...VDOT is at 9-10 months after introducing TAME...an early average time for a co to test and evaluate SW would be 6 mos up to app 2 years...in the PR dept you will find references to Linux (on the RHAT 6.1 & 6.2 app)..ROK( a marketing agreement and VS is on their latest Transcend eCommerce app)...VS is an EMC "proven" affiliate and is reccommended by EMC for Webhosting and ASP...Oracle (TAME has solved legacy problems)..CPNM/Beryl Wolk/IMC/BeeTrade (Marketing agreement..MOT rumors abound..NorthStar TeleSolutions is growing..Sullivan Park is linked to HaLo/Disney/NBC/Xerox....recently purchased ClickShop& GoldPaint.......to name a few...do some DD here..the price is down right now and IMO this is an excellent buying opportunity for a co with almost no long term debt and a powerful scripting SW "Language" TAME™ that has been called the "Most robust , powerful scripting language in the world"
