For Its Webtop Communications Suite

SAN MATEO, Calif. February 10, 2009 — Laszlo Systems, a global leader in Rich Internet Application (RIA) software, today announced that it has reached a new milestone in licensed subscribers for its flagship Webtop communication suite. The company now boasts some of the worlds’ premier service providers as its customers with over 7 million Webtop subscriber licenses sold for deployment to consumers.

Webtop is a sophisticated platform that unifies access to an expanding suite of Rich Internet Applications. Webtop Connectors allow easy integration with existing back-end systems. Webtop Smart Objects allow effortless integration between different applications enabling drag and drop, inline display/playback, and standards-based import/export. With Webtop, users can access their data anywhere, any time, from any device.

Webtop leverages Laszlo’s award-winning open source platform: OpenLaszlo to provide the rich desktop-like look and feel of the application suite. OpenLaszlo supports a write-once deploy-many model compiling to multiple runtimes with pixel-perfect fidelity. OpenLaszlo gives developers a “low floor / high ceiling” ease of quick prototyping combined with built-in support for sophisticated large-scale commercial applications.

“We are excited to see the increase in adoption of our open source as well as our commercial offerings on an international basis. We have always believed that creative, intuitive user interfaces are essential to the popular appeal of web-based applications”, said George Shahid, President and CEO of Laszlo Systems.

In today’s socially networked world it is more important than ever to be able to quickly bring new capabilities to consumer offerings. With Webtop’s ability to “extend and embrace”, our customers can maintain their competitive edge.
