Curl Corp Experiences Significant Growth In Asia

Curl Corp, developers of the industry's first rich client software suite to deliver Web-distributed enterprise applications, announced that the company's rapidly growing, exclusive distributor in Japan and Korea, Curl Asia Pacific Corp (CAPC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sumisho Computer Systems, has won several major accounts for the award-winning Curl Client/Web Platform including, Nexus, Hitachi Displays and Daewoong Pharmaceutical. The tremendous growth in this region for Curl demonstrates the exploding demand for its application development software.

The Curl Client/Web Platform provides customers and partners throughout the world with a flexible and open way to quickly and easily deliver multi-platform applications that interact with numerous information sources and present it within a Web browser. Through the use of Curl's technology, enterprise customers and partners reduce costs; improve business application development and delivery on the Web; and simplify the creation of content while supporting the occasionally connected computing environment.


Web services, utility computing, .NET, CPU harvesting and distributed computing are just a few of the technologies that fall under the Grid computing umbrella. Gt04 -- a premiere enterprise Grid computing conference targeting industrial and commercial users -- will gather experts, and outline strategies and road maps for Grid deployment.

Also announced is the launch of the Curl Client/Web Platform 3.0 in Japan and Korea. Events will be held in Tokyo on March 5; Osaka, Japan, on March 9; and Seoul, Korea, on March 11.
