... I want a graphing and data reporting system that is world-class, used
by billion-dollar companies worldwide for years, doesn't limit me, is
backed by a stable company with years of experience with NEXTSTEP projects,
has a full and open API, gives plenty of room for future growth, is backed
by ongoing development, AND is well priced.

That's OpenGraph! ... As one NeXT Software, Inc. manager puts it
"OpenGraph is the premium graphing solution for NEXTSTEP ... for customers
that need power graphs ...".

OPENGRAPH(tm) FACTS:

1) OpenGraph is used to track and purchase billions of dollars ($US) of
securities, is used to monitor engineering processes worth 100's of millions
and is used throughout the world by Fortune 500 companies.

2) OpenGraph's object based framework was designed by experts, tested at
the largest NEXTSTEP sites, and is used by corporate developers driven to
produce proprietary world-class data reporting applications that run 24
hours a day in real-time.

3) OpenGraph has a published, well documented and open API. The OpenGraph
documentation is extensive and includes many source code examples of
real-world and real-time data reporting applications. OpenGraph updates
and ports to the newest computers are provided regularly.

4) VVI-DCS (the maker of OpenGraph) has plenty of Solaris(tm), Windows NT(tm),
and Mach based computers running in-house (details after OpenStep ships
commercially) and has provided NEXTSTEP solutions and contracting expertise
since 1991.

5) The upcoming version of OpenGraph incorporates an open and well defined
document storage system and scripting language which is forward and backward
compatible, person readable and modifiable, is compatible with 3d party
developers' extensions, is extensible, is sturdy enough to transcend
all versions of OpenStep, and (our hallmark) parses efficiently and
in real-time.

WHAT INDUSTRY EXPERTS THINK:

OpenGraph on NEXTSTEP has won praise from corporate developers who say
"OpenGraph...":

     "...speeds development time",
     "...makes data reporting applications thought to be impossible
         become practical",
     "...is the best data reporting solution, regardless of operating system",
     "...provides the right kind and level of API and features",
     "...yields a powerful application that produces results far above the
         norm for our industry",

, and as an IEEE editor (who wrote a feature article on visualization)
puts it:

     "OpenGraph is a price break through ... real value ... full of features
      I have never seen before, ... I want it for my home computer..."

and the quotes go on and on throughout years of use in critical productions
situations where OpenGraph is used to report data representing billions of
dollars worth of products throughout the world.

AVAILABILITY FOR OPENSTEP:

OpenGraph for NEXTSTEP has been available for years. Pricing and
availability for OpenStep based computers will be announced soon after
OpenStep ships commercially.
