Appexpress by Endeavors Technology (TAD.L)
Tadpole Technology streaming division Endeavors Technologies is now well placed to become the de facto choice for the enterprise market with its Appexpress suite of products following out of court settlements with Microsoft and Citrix regarding it's patents for streaming.
Appexpress was certified by Microsoft in 2003 after rigourous independant testing by VeriTest, which makes it clearer as to why they didn't fight too hard regarding the patent issue.
Endeavors is a pioneer and tough leader with 9 patents granted and 18 pending, including the first ever patents granted for streaming applications.
