RightBrain's ExactlyWrite Acquired by Information Technology Solutions, Inc.
Chicago, October 1, 1993 - Information Technology Solutions, Inc,
today announced it has acquired all rights to RightBrain's ExactlyWrite.
ITS will complete the development of this NEXTSTEP word processing
application, and anticipates shipping in early 1994 - both as a
shrink-wrap application and as an object suitable for integration
into other applications.
This, and other soon to be announced software acquisitions, are
part of a strategic new direction for ITS--focusing on the commercial
development of office automation and groupware solutions for
NEXTSTEP, while continuing to provide a full range of consulting
services.
ITS currently provides custom programming, systems engineering
management; network installation, support; and training for a wide
variety of mid-western and international clients--especially in
the Financial Services Industry.
"I'm very pleased we were able to acquire ExactlyWrite from
RightBrain," said Ted Shelton, President of ITS. "NEXTSTEP users
need this application and there is a growing demand from developers
for a full-featured word processing object. The established services
side of our business puts us in a strong position to expand and
diversify in the emerging NEXTSTEP marketplace."
"I'm very pleased that all our products have found good homes",
said Glenn Reid, Founder and President of RightBrain Software. "ITS
is the perfect place for ExactlyWrite - I believe they will turn
it into what we planned - the best meat-and-potatoes NEXTSTEP word
processor. I will be working with them to ensure a smooth transition
of the product."
RightBrain recently announced that it would be ceasing its operations
developing and marketing software for NEXTSTEP, effective October
1, 1993.
