Re: Summing up the Icebreak discussion

[Bent Rønne <BRO@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Henrik,

It is true that IceBreak is 100% developed and owned by System & Method. It is also true that IceBreak is independent of any third party software. You won't find a more native Web environment for IBM i than IceBreak - and of cause no Microsoft technology is involved!

We are 7 developers on IceBreak and IceCap. Niels is the Chief Technology Officer and he is primarily responsible for the product and the core of IceBreak together with me.

Regards,

Bent Ronne

product
only own by, developed and mantained by Niels ;-)
