Laszlo Systems Introduces Enhanced Version of Laszlo Webtop

Laszlo Systems has introduced new features and functionality to its flagship commercial offering, Laszlo Webtop, The Web 2.0 Desktop. In addition, the successful early adoption of Laszlo Webtop has led to the development of strategic bundled solutions for three target markets: service providers, enterprises and developers.

Based on early adopters' feedback and real-life implementations, Laszlo Webtop has been tailored into multiple editions and price points to meet specific deployment use-cases. These include:
- Laszlo Webtop for Service Providers: Bundled with ready-to-go Laszlo Mail and Contacts, this edition offers a brand-able and extensible solution for delivering a customized communications web portal - including the ability to integrate advertising for additional revenue opportunities. Providers can complement Webtop with modules such as news, stocks, weather, or productivity applications, including VoIP-based softphones, calendaring and real-time messaging.
- Laszlo Webtop for Enterprises: Bundled with Contacts and optionally, Laszlo Mail, this edition enables the next-generation Web 2.0 workplace to improve the way people access content, complete transactions, and consume multimedia. Ideal for creating executive dashboards, streamlining business processes, or delivering interactive financial data.
- Laszlo Webtop SDK for Developers: Bundled as a powerful Software Development Kit download, this is the fastest way for developers to create their own Webtop solutions and leverage the award-winning OpenLaszlo 4 development platform to extend, brand and build applications that seamlessly interoperate inside the Laszlo Webtop framework.

Now in version 1.2, Laszlo Webtop provides the industry's fastest path for delivering multiple Web 2.0-based RIA applications that seamlessly interact across popular browsers and devices. Several new features have been added in the latest release, including:
- Integrated Laszlo Mail: Available as an optional application module within Laszlo Webtop, Mail delivers all the features and benefits of desktop email with carrier-grade scalability and reliability. Support for Goodmail Systems' CertifiedEmail provides a premium class of authentication that protects users from phishing and other forms of email-based fraud.
- New APIs to Speed Application Integration: Data access and paging APIs have been added to enable easy integration and increased performance when deploying OpenLaszlo applications with large datasets. Developers can also use open APIs, such as Auto-Suggest or Add Contact, to speed development of collaborative applications.
- User-Based, Interactive Advertising Options: Aimed primarily at service providers, advertising support uniquely and intelligently targets users while they're using Webtop applications, enabling ads to actively respond to users' online activity.
