Edinburgh, Scotland, Monday 18th October 2004 Runtime Revolution announced a new consulting service to complement its line of professional developer tools. The new service brings the cost saving benefits of the company's multi-platform rapid application development tool to a wider audience.

"This is a great new service that now allows any company to benefit from the time saving benefits of Revolution, regardless of whether they havedevelopment team in-house" said Kevin Miller, CEO of Runtime Revolution.

By applying the Revolution technology to the consulting process, the company can provide multimedia, database front ends, custom software and enterprise solutions more efficiently than by using traditional development processes. The finished solution can then be deployed and subsequently maintained for Windows, Mac, Linux and UNIX platforms
without additional costs. The consulting service also allows existing Revolution developers to add built-to-order features to the Revolution technology, or to provide customized versions of the technology.

Runtime is providing the following services:

- Tailor made multimedia solutions
- Business applications and database front ends
- Porting titles to the Mac, Windows or Linux platforms
- Adding custom features to the Revolution technology platform
- Building customized versions of the Revolution technology
- Enterprise solutions
- IT solutions
- And more

This new service is ideal for creating robust and flexible multi-platform applications from software that may have outgrown its original development environment. Runtime specializes in porting solutions originally written in FileMaker, Visual Basic, HyperCard, SuperCard and other tools. The company can enhance, modernize or even completely overhaul existing titles, before delivering them in a flexible multi-platform format.

Revolution's high level development system, point and click interface builder, together with its very high level programming language, can reduce development time and consulting costs by up to 90%, when compared with traditional languages. The company recently released version 2.5 of Revolution, which is used by thousands of professional developers every day.
