ProVUE Introduces Panorama Enterprise Server
ProVUE Introduces Panorama Enterprise Server
Huntington Beach, California - July 30, 2008 - ProVUE Development announces
the release of Panorama Enterprise Server, the first totally RAM based
general purpose database server for Mac OS X. The Enterprise Server product
is designed to work in conjunction with ProVUE's Panorama 5.5 database
software (released in December 2007) on client machines, and can also be

a central server, the Panorama Enterprise system uses a "mesh" architecture
to distribute RAM based copies of the shared data across the network. This
mesh technology dramatically cuts delays associated with common database
tasks by spreading the load across the network.

NovaMind introduces ScriptMapping
Writing screenplays used to be a difficult process where it was
difficult to find the portion of the screenplay to edit, keeping
track of the storyline could be difficult, writer's block was common,
and you really couldn't "play with" the script to get it right.
These problems are a thing of the past with ScriptMapping

software built in to NovaMind mind mapping software. It allows the
user to capture ideas easily during brainstorming sessions, and
attach portions of the screenplay to different branches of the mind
maps. The screenplay can be reorganized just by dragging the branches
into different locations. Experimental screenwriting is now possible
through the ability to disable the printing or export of the script
