Face toFace |
|
Product:Face toFace was the world's first cross-platform document conferencing software product. |
|
Challenge:Crosswise Corporation, in collaboration with Apple Computer and Pacific Bell, envisioned a new kind of network product that would allow users to teleconference and share their electronic documents in real time between distant locations, all from the convenience of their computer desktop. |
|
Solution:Since Java didn't exist yet, Giavaneers staff, through Crosswise Corporation, first developed a cross-platform, distributed object framework analagous to Java and marketed as the "Groupware Kernel". Next, building upon Groupware Kernel functionality, FacetoFace, was developed as the world's first cross-platform document conferencing application. This award-winning product was created at a time when cross-platform applications were otherwise virtually unavailable, successfully meeting the goal of allowing Windows and Macintosh users at different locations to review and markup documents together across a wide variety of networks.FacetoFace and Groupware Kernel technology and trademarks are currently owned by Apple Computer. |
