ComQi Announces New Funding, Credit Line February 1, 2012 by Super User It was always expected that the software companies in this over-space were either going to have to have rocketing growth to start dominating the market, or choose a specialist area and differentiate itself that way. I don’t think ComQi is a high-flyer in terms of growth nor is it set up that way, so it …

rAVe at ISE: Real-time Authoring Out Of Big Database January 31, 2012 by Super User [youtube id=”4RbN_wxAiy4″ width=”600″ height=”350″] This seems like a pretty big challenge but the sales guy from Hamburg, Germany-based Ventuz shrugglingly describes here how the software can generate real-time visual presentations out of an SAP database.
