WhoopeeWeb accepted into Australian Technology Showcase
Announcement posted by inteRAD Technology 26 Feb 2003
inteRAD Technology, an Australian software development tool specialist, will proudly display the Australian Technology Showcase (ATS) badge on its revolutionary new product, WhoopeeWeb, following advice received from ATS of its acceptance into the showcase.
Described as 'a one stop website creation, maintenance and hosting tool', WhoopeeWeb allows users to create, edit and maintain their own websites online - without the need for any technical knowledge.
"WhoopeeWeb is positioned as the ideal solution for small- to medium-sized businesses to establish an inexpensive and reliable web presence. Websites created with WhoopeeWeb can be maintained and edited by the site owner through a control panel, significantly lowering long-term operational costs," said Ms Lorraine Cobcroft, managing director of inteRAD Technology.
The panel incorporates a real-time HTML editing system which functions much like a word processor, to allow business users to edit their pages in a familiar environment. Through the control panel, users can also add, delete and reorder pages, upload and manage files, and change colour schemes.
"WhoopeeWeb gives site owners a much higher return on investment by enabling them to maintain complete and secure control over site content, without having to call a technician to make simple changes," Cobroft said.
The Australian Technology Showcase is an international initiative that promotes Australian industry by drawing international attention to and supporting companies behind innovative Australian technologies with commercial potential and significance for global markets.
Selection for the Australian Technology Showcase is a competitive process requiring applicants to demonstrate that their products are clearly leading edge and have significant local content. The selection criteria for ATS requires technologies to be:
1. Clearly innovative - representing a significant step forward in the technology or its utilisation
2. Scientifically credible - based on secure principles
3. With significant local content
4. Demonstrably marketable
5. Commercially attractive
6. Socially and environmentally beneficial
7. Readily exportable - world-class technology with significant global potential
8. Built on strength
9. Ready to be implemented
10. Backed by skilled and committed stakeholders
WhoopeeWeb is the second product in inteRAD's portfolio to gain membership in the ATS, making inteRAD the only member to have more than one product in the ATS. In 2000, build-IT - inteRAD's leading edge Java-based software development tool, used by programmers to develop and maintain platform-independent software solutions for desktop computers, digital devices, and the internet - was granted membership after an equally rigorous selection process.
