Macromedia Announces Immediate Availability of ColdFusion MX 7

Business Wire, Feb 7, 2005

"The Federal Supply Service, an agency of U.S. GSA, provides services to over one million federal workers. We rely on ColdFusion to develop many of our internal applications to support these services. We plan on taking advantage of the ColdFusion MX 7 J2EE deployment feature, which will allow us to easily package and deploy our web applications to our field offices. We also anticipate developing a system to dynamically convert items such as news or press releases into PDF and FlashPaper documents. With its ease of use, a bounty of features not found in any other application server, and a powerful tag-based language, ColdFusion MX 7 can tame even the most complex web applications."

- Ryan R. Williams, ColdFusion developer, Federal Supply Service, U.S. GSA

Georgetown University

"At Georgetown University, our first application to be developed and run on ColdFusion MX 7 is a website management tool. Before, our students, faculty, and staff had to wait a day or two for simple tasks to get done on their sites. The new application, built with the rich feature set of ColdFusion MX 7, will put the site owner in control and enable developers to be more productive. The continued improvement and maturity of Macromedia products, such as ColdFusion MX 7, provides for a robust rapid application development environment, which enables us to support innovations in teaching and services at Georgetown."

- Amit Yathirajadasan, senior IS specialist, Georgetown University

InvestEdge

"ColdFusion MX 7 is an incredible release. We already plan on moving our enterprise-level, wealth-management, and brokerage platforms to ColdFusion MX 7. By using XForms, we'll be able to create skins that will let us use the controls in our application with just a single line of code. ColdFusion has always been an enterprise-level platform, but these new features may make it 'the' enterprise platform."

- RC Collins, chief technology officer, InvestEdge

Peace Corps

"ColdFusion MX 7 represents the most robust release ever, and enables developers to create feature-packed applications with shorter development schedules and less code than what is possible with other programming languages. Strengthened by new features including the improvement of the user experience with rich forms and printable web content, and the expansion beyond web-related applications into areas like SMS messaging, ColdFusion MX 7 is an amazing product."

- Steve Ray, IT specialist, Peace Corps

The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania

"ColdFusion MX 7 allows the Wharton School to develop large scale, Java-based enterprise applications easily, and we already plan on running and developing our Knowledge@Wharton, an online magazine of faculty research and commentary with more than 400,000 subscribers worldwide, and SPIKE, our award-winning student intranet, with this latest version of ColdFusion. With the SMS gateway, we now have the ability to easily adapt our existing infrastructure and expand into an increasingly pervasive mobile environment. ColdFusion MX 7 will not only help us to create better experiences for our users with dynamic generation of electronic documents and printable web content, but the new additions to the language and environment will make it easier to develop then ever before."
