Intent Version 3.0 Released
July 22, 2002
Press Release
New York, NY, July 22, 2002 -- Opening the door to a new era of
enterprise collaboration, CodeFab
Enterprise Solutions announced the public release of Intent V3.0,
a dynamic task accountability system that transforms a modern company,
team or department from a collection of individuals to a cohesive
working unit.
Intent is a powerful and easy to use web, web services and email based
application that helps teams manage the myriad of issues that arise
when people work together. The system increases project productivity
by tracking all outstanding issues, clearly identifying responsible
parties, consolidating related communication and actively notifying
managers and team members about progress. By providing real-time
oversight of the team's activities, managers can make better decisions
and workers remain focused on solving the right problems.
"The key is to never drop a ball," says Alex Cone, CodeFab's CEO (and
amateur juggler). "When you are managing a project, you need to know
where all the balls are, all the time. Tools like Microsoft's
Project™ can help with the planning exercise - if you put in a big
up-front effort, your problem doesn't change and you don't mind
approximations. But when the project gets underway, and the balls
start flying, these tools fall down on the job. People will throw in
new task balls all throughout the project, so you need a dynamic
solution like Intent that embraces change, lets the team see what is
going on with every task and clearly communicates who is responsible
for keeping their eye on each and every one. Personal responsibility
is just good business."
Intent is an ideal partner for today's highly dynamic business
environment. Adjusting easily to changing project teams and rapidly
evolving requirements, Intent ensures that no task falls through the
cracks. Intent's ubiquitous web and email interface means you are
always kept in the loop and your projects are always just a click
away.
"Four the last four years, Intent has been our secret weapon," says
Bill Bumgarner, CTO at CodeFab. "We honed this application in the fire
of large team, mission critical consulting projects for top client
companies. Until now, Intent was exclusively available to CodeFab's
professional services customers. Intent version 3.0 is faster,
friendlier, more flexible and, with a powerful web services interface,
able to connect with the rest of the world. And it is finally
available to everyone!"
CodeFab sells Intent directly as a service on the web at www.IntentCenter.com and requires
no software download. For dedicated server solutions that fit the size
of your business contact CodeFab or an Intent reseller.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CodeFab, Inc. announced today that they
have completed the second phase of creative and technical work with
AtomicPop.com. CodeFab provided Atomic Pop with faster performance,
increased E-commerce services and an improved, expanded, database.
These changes were made during the second project in an ongoing
relationship between CodeFab and Atomic Pop, beginning with the first
Atomic Pop Web site launch in February, 1999. Since its launch, Atomic Pop
has quickly established a reputation as an innovator in the digital
delivery of music via the Internet.
"We are proud of our work on the Atomic Pop site, and are
certain that the added functionality and faster performance will
further the site's e-commerce experience," said Alex Cone, President of CodeFab.
"The role of E-commerce in the music business grows larger
every day, and Atomic Pop is leading the way."
Recently added features include the streamlined ability to sell digital music files from an extensive music data warehouse.
The comprehensive, customizable data storage function allows artist
and title information to be constantly updated and improved. CodeFab
also increased the Atomic Pop site's performance with faster
processing and will provide the company with ongoing support.
Another enhancement is the fully Integrated Shopping Cart, which enables consumers to buy downloadable tracks and CDs in a single transaction. The Integrated shopping cart will also enable consumers to begin a transaction and complete it immediately or come back to it at their leisure.
"Codefab has helped Atomic Pop create a fully integrated shopping cart, where consumers are able to load their cart with multiple music formats, including digital music files for purchase. This is an essential move forward in digital music shopping," said Lewis Rothman, Atomic Pop's Chief Technical Officer. "To further enhance the online shopping experience we have jointly created an innovative rights restriction system which will aid in the sale and distribution of music from the AtomicPop.com store to a worldwide marketplace, immediately recognizing any territorial restrictions."
The Atomic Pop site is a one-stop jump off point for a
music-centric pop-culture convergence. Atomic Pop provides a place
where music, television, radio, and video games merge into a seamless
world of pure digital media. The Atomic Pop label puts the artists
back in control of their music, and the Atomic Pop platform brings
them closer to their audience through a variety of broadband marketing and content platforms.
