Application development tool supplier Speedware earned mention in several places in presentations at the 3000 Solutions Symposium, but the biggest notice might have come during moderator Bill Lancaster’s comments. Lancaster pointed out Speedware had made a “radical price reduction on their full Web development product, Autobahn.”

Speedware’s marketing director Chris Koppe took the floor to announce that the unlimited developers, unlimited user runtime license price for the Web development tool had been cut to $9,995. “There will be no upgrade charges ever, regardless of the size of the [e3000] you want to put it on.” Koppe said. Speedware is also looking at revisions for its Classic Speedware and Visual Speedware products.

Lancaster said that the price shift was “a very welcome change.” Autobahn is a standalone product that doesn’t require other Speedware products.
